Ship of Fools

Stanley Kramer directs this classic drama set on a German ocean liner during the Nazi regime of the 1930s.

The fateful cruise follows the lives of its passengers including disciples of Nazism, wealthy Jewish men, sleazy dance troupes and bitter lovers along the 36-day-voyage.

From the sad love affair between the ship's doctor, Wilhelm Schumann (Oskar Werner), and La Condesa (Simone Signoret), a doomed Spanish noblewoman, to the fading relationship of two young American artists, the ship serves many characters.

The cast also includes Vivien Leigh, José Ferrer and Lee Marvin.
