MOVIES

Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone and a ship load of passengers battle the odds on a luxury liner going down in Andrew L. Stone’s spine tingling disaster film The Last Voyage (1960).

Filmed on an actual liner that was sunk for the filming, the cast includes Oscar winners George Sanders as a distressed captain, Edmund O’Brien as a panicked mid-shipman and Woody Strode as a fearless crew member who attempts the impossible in order to save the lives of those who are trapped below. The perfect summer excursion, you’ll be on the edge of your seat for 90 unforgettable minutes!

We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows

It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal
