      David Parkinson Radio Times The puzzle unfolds deftly enough with Crain refusing to resort to distressed damsel histrionics. Rated: 3/5 Jul 7, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The paranoia and suspense are exceptional, the location imparts unique chills, the notion of Ruth's isolation and aloneness are frightening, and the finale is exhilarating. Rated: 9/10 Aug 18, 2020 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Nicely done shipboard mystery, with good plot and actors. Aug 16, 2012 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A good old-fashioned mystery yarn. Rated: B- Sep 9, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

      j F Compelling and a unique plot kept me guessing! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Will K Has us guessing, will be looking for other movies like this one. Recommended to family, those who watched also enjoyed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Sarah C A good movie, kind of a thriller, if you don't know the plot a surprise ending and of course the good guys win and the bad guys get theirs Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Audience Member Fox really mastered the film noir genre in the 50's, and "Dangerous Crossing" is an example of that. The setting is on a cruise ship instead of the typical back alley, sketchy part of the city atmosphere for film-noirs. Honestly the movie has a very unusual creepy, eerie vibe as the sanity of the young bride (Jeanne Crain) is constantly being threatened. There isn't too much mystery involved in the film; personally I was able to figure out the ending pretty quickly. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review deke p ONLY saw part on late nite tv 3-2017 but fell asleep. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Great story line, but, there was 1 glaring mistake given when the maid was seen in the room. Also, the horrendous acting by the lead lady Ms. Crain. Worst acting I've ever seen. Rennie's acting was fine. This movie should be re-made with proper direction and an adequate leading lady and it would be a hit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
