20th Century Fox, 1944

Director Alfred Hitchcock created a war drama set during World War II, in which survivors of a torpedoed merchant ship find themselves sharing a lifeboat with a crew member from the U-boat that sank their vessel. The collection includes four lobby cards, all of which are unrestored and may show signs of wear, such as pinholes, creases, and some edge damage. One card, featuring Walter Slezak holding Bankhead's wrists, has a type of textured staining along the right and lower borders.

Although "Lifeboat" is based on John Steinbeck's novel, the author chose to disassociate himself from the film due to its interpretation of his work. Nevertheless, the movie is considered one of Alfred Hitchcock's most innovative films. It takes place almost entirely in a small lifeboat that carries the survivors of a torpedoed freighter during World War II.
