Dangerous Crossing (1953 Joseph Newman)

A sort of Lady Vanishes variant with just-married Jeanne Crain losing her husband immediately on board cruise. Everyone thinks she's mad - and not surprisingly, as she overacts terribly in the fainting-in-the corridor mode - though ship's doctor Michael Rennie is sympathetic. Meanwhile we quickly figure out the husband (Carl Betz) is trying to make her mad to inherit her money. With Max Showalter, Anna Quinn, Marjorie Hoshelle.

Cheap Fox production held together by Joe LaShelle, William Reynolds and Lionel Newman. Poorly acted, written and directed.
