The last of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic films to arrive on DVD
LIFEBOAT
The Controversial, Three-Time Oscar® Nominated Masterwork of Suspense, Written By Nobel Prize Winner John Steinbeck
Alfred Hitchcock’s three-time Academy Award®-nominated wartime suspense classic, LIFEBOAT, arrives on DVD for the very first time from Fox Home Entertainment. Garnering Oscar nods for Best Director, Best Writing and Best Cinematography, this riveting 1945 chiller penned by Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck , sets Tallulah Bankhead, Hume Cronyn, William Bendix and Walter Slezak adrift on a crowded and leaky wooden raft after their ship is torpedoed by a German U-boat. Decried as subversive and “dangerous to the American war effort,” by Steinbeck himself upon its release, the film’s blend of morality and intrigue and it’s revolutionary single location filming method have thrilled audiences and inspired generations of filmmakers, anchoring LIFEBOAT as one of the truly groundbreaking films of the “master of mystery and suspense.” The digitally remastered LIFEBOAT DVD is awash in bonus materials including a making-of featurette, audio commentary by USC Hitchcock professor Drew Casper, a gallery of still photography and the original theatrical trailer.
