Treacherous Crossing

In 1947, in New York, Lindsey Gates (Lindsay Wagner) and Beverly Thomas (Angie Dickinson) befriend each other on the main deck of a transatlantic that is departing to Europe. Lindsey explains that she is in honeymoon and in love with her husband Kenneth Gates while Beverly is traveling alone to think whether he might divorce or not from her husband. When Lindsey goes to her double cabin, she finds that she is located in a single one and her husband and his luggage are missing. She seeks him out in the ship but all evidences raised by the Chief of Security Stevens (Grant Show) indicates that Lindsey is traveling alone. Further, her first husband died and she was considered not guilty by the court and spent six months in a mental institution. Without any document or the ticket, only Beverly and Dr. Johnston (Jeffrey DeMunn) believe that Lindsey is not delusional or insane and is telling the truth.

"Treacherous Crossing" is a TV movie surprisingly good with great performance of Lindsay Wagner. The story is intriguing and the screenplay keeps the mystery in a tense atmosphere. The plot point is predictable and the conclusion deserved to be better. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Travessia Suspeita" ("Suspect Crossing")

Why remake a movie just to ruin it? It's like restoring a vintage Rolls-Royce and then pushing it over a cliff. The original 1953 film, "Dangerous Crossing," starring Jeanne Crain, was a neat, atmospheric little mystery. It was based on John Dickson Carr's short story "Cabin B-13," about a man who disappears on a honeymoon cruise, leaving no record of his existence and making his bride look like a madwoman. The best part of that movie was Carr's brilliantly crafted ending -- totally surprising but obvious in retrospect. And what did they do in "Treacherous Crossing"? They let the proverbial cat out of the bag in the middle of the movie! Steer clear of this voyage and get aboard with Jeanne Crain.

I have seen this film and enjoyed, i was wondering whether she was actually crazy or whether she had actually lost her husband. I think though that the film does go on for too long and would of been better as a TV program.

Look, there's only two possibilities, either she's crazy, or she's not. Unfortunately, we have to wait through this entire boring movie to find out. The whole thing is a little bit ridiculous, too. It reminds me of The Net. There are lots of incredulous coincidences here. Instead of wondering "whodunit?" the audience is left wondering "who cares?". I feel sorry for anyone who watched this on TV and had to sit through the commercials. But I guess they were more interesting. Many yawns all around for this movie.
