Tallulah Bankhead was my cousin.

I fall into the very well made but unenjoyable Hitchcock film camp. I’ve seen it twice but never got the same pleasure watching it like with North by Northwest or Waltzes from Vienna. But it is a technically brilliant film, made by a master and his talented cohorts. I remember reading a story, possibly apocryphal, about the very flamboyant Tallulah Bankhead. As she had a propensity to not wear much, during filming her fellow actors complained that when she climbed out of the water tank, she flashed them. When advised of this situation, Hitchcock observed, "I don't know if this is a matter for the costume department, make-up, or hairdressing.” I was going to ask if that noise was the Tell-Tale Hammer or maybe the Tommyknockers.

She was a wonderfully talented lady. Charming, beautiful, and very generous.

Another informative and enjoyable review. Sounds like Lifeboat was a kind of prototype for the later formula disaster films with their checklist of "types" to be included.

Really enjoyable. I haven’t seen this one for a long time, I will have to try and rewatch it.

Yes, we occasionally hear the hammer banging, and no, it's not bothersome. It sort of reinforces the conversational, informal tone of this series.

Tallulah was a wild child until the very end of her life.
