Dangerous Crossing

DANGEROUS CROSSING (1953) - July 8, 2005
About a woman who goes on a cruise with her husband, who promptly goes missing. She soon finds that there is no trace of him, and that nobody even remembers seeing him. The film was well directed, and essentially entertaining. The main problem was that the main character wasn't all that likeable; she spends the bulk of the film in a panicked frenzy ("oh you must believe me! You must!"). It probably doesn't help that the actress playing her wasn't all that great. Still, the mystery of the missing husband was reasonably compelling, and at a short 75 minutes the film never really overstays its welcome (though it was on the verge of doing so a few times). **1/2
