 Barnes & Noble.com - Lifeboat -- Alfred Hitchcock - VHS
Character actor William Bendix, an unlikely choice to play opposite Bankhead, portrays a sailor who loses his leg in the attack, and John Hodiak impresses with his turn as a hard-boiled Nazi hater who regards with understandable suspicion the lone German survivor, played by Walter Slezak.
The boat holds eight survivors of a Nazi torpedo attack: sophisticated magazine writer/photographer Tallulah Bankhead, communistic-seaman John Hodiak, nurse Mary Anderson, mild-mannered radio-operator Hume Cronyn, seriously wounded Brooklynese stoker William Bendix, insufferable-capitalist Henry Hull, fl-steward Canada Lee and half-mad passenger Heather Angel, who carries the body of her dead baby.
After it becomes necessary to amputate Bendix' s leg, Slezak decides that the burly stoker is excess weight; while the others sleep, he tosses Bendix overboard, watching dispassionately as the poor man drowns.

Character actor William Bendix brings bravado and color to every frame of this sanitized but enjoyable biopic that glosses over Babe Ruth's legendary excesses.
THE BABE RUTH STORY begins in Baltimore as the young George Herman Ruth (Bobby Ellis) is taken from his father's waterfront saloon and placed in St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys, where the kindly Brother Mathias (Charles Bickford) introduces him to sandlot baseball.
Having studied films of Ruth endlessly, until he was able to imitate his stance, walk, unique mannerisms, and facial expressions, Bendix became so good at being the Babe that it is difficult to tell where the Bendix action shots leave off and the newsreel clips of the real Ruth begin.

Because of its small cast, because all the action takes place on a single claustrophobic set, because the "plot" consists entirely of sub-plots, and because Saroyan’s "dirty sentimentality" isn’t to everyone’s taste, such doubts are still understandable today.
