A passenger ship is leaving London for New York during dangerous wartime. A group of passenger is at the station waiting to board. After a bombing raid, some of them find themselves mysteriously on an empty ship.
The start has the characters obviously dead from the bombing. It's a little annoying that it does not occur to most of the characters. There is a bit of fun with John Garfield trying to provoke some of the passengers. That's the best part of the movie. He really should be the main character. I don't care that much about Henry and Ann. I'd rather they be minor characters in the group. This has some interesting ideas about death but it is not that groundbreaking. Garfield makes this interesting although the rest is a little boring.
