Phantom Ship (1935) [Horror] [Mystery]

[@crissy5183]

If it wasn't for channels like yours I'd never see all these great old movies! Love Béla 💕 thank you!

[@OEllsworth]

Béla Lugosi was indeed a fine actor. Incidentally, most people mispronounce his name. First of all, in Hungarian an accent is used to mark a long vowel, not a stress, so the first name is pronounced Bay-la. Also all Hungarian names are accented on the first syllable, and an "s" is pronounced "sh" (the "s" sound is spelled "sz" as in the composer Liszt), so the full name is pronounced (caps indicate stressed syllable) "BAY-la LU-go-shee." And finally, Hungarians always put the family name first, so in Hungary he would be Lugosi Béla. Just in case you are interested!

That's mentioned in the description.

[@SuperKasper333]

Interestingly, this was considered his only true dramatic role. It was not considered a horror film. He wanted to play dramatic, comedic and romantic roles, but was typecast from "Dracula" on.

[@prevost8686]

It was inevitable that Dracula would typecast him. There’s never been an actor since him that was more “born” for that role. His accent, appearance, and mannerisms doomed him(or blessed him) to always be a horror fiend. His experience in Hollywood doesn’t make me feel any sense of pity for him. His wounds from WW1 that led to lifelong addiction to morphine, heroin, and alcohol do cause me to feel sorry for him. I’ve seen everything he’s ever done on film and I think I enjoy the serial series “The Phantom Creeps” the best. They were corny, low budget, and fun. I can still imagine the little boys of that day about to go crazy waiting to see what would happen on the next episode.

[@JamesGilbert_]

Even more interesting is that he was born before _Dracula_ was published. So the role that he was deemed "born to play", that he did so in two motion pictures and several times onstage, was a literary character that came into existence after he was already born. His death in the 1950s even puts into perspective how bizarre the passage of time can be.

This is a very dark film. Every male character in the film is a horrible man. Grey as the Captain's wife is somewhat decent, yet she is involved with the other sea captain and she is the reason for the betrayal between the two men. Even Margetson as Captain Briggs is a man full of conflicts. He appears decent to his wife yet acknowledges some of his crew has been shanghaied and he orders a beating when a sailor complains about food. The only decent human being is Lugosi. He is gentle with the cat. But he won't be gentle with those devils responsible for his current state.

[@tombates9122]

+Neiru B according to the wiki article this version (the US version) had scenes from the ending removed to purposely make the event seem more mysterious and supernatural. The original had a different ending and was meant to explain the event rationally but no copy of it exists now apparently.

[@ToniHunterOne]

+Wilhelm X I know its been 3 years since you posted but I thought I'd attempt an answer. Bela's character was obviously over-wrought, if not quite insane. I think he was both the gentle defender and the maniacal killer. When he got the knock on the head and fell to near unconsciousness and then woke up and then he woke up to realization and guilt for all the murder and mayhem he caused. He truly couldn't live with himself and so jumped overboard. At the very end, are you speaking of the savage scene? That is the jilted lover happy for what became of his former love and her husband.

Good movie. Yet the true accounts how it was found is friction. The ships captain who brought his wife and baby a board. On below deck the ships crew table was set food. It shows the crew starting to eat The ship show no signs of fowl play. The ships life boat was missing. There was no indication of anything wrong in the captains log. It believe they made one stop on a island. Before finishing the crossing on the Atlanta Ocean. Another fact they were going though the Bermuda Triangle. So whether it was simply bad luck or paranormal. With the crew gone. The ship and ocean will be keeping that secret for a very long time.

[@msbrowngault]

I believe some natives forced them off (w/out signs of foul play) & they met their fate. Perhaps the natives didn't care for the cargo, just the crew. Remember how the natives treated strangers in Tarzan? Well, that's what I think. Just my opinion 😕

[@waynebender7720]

@@msbrowngault There is a island Atlanta Ocean where they made have stop. As far as I know nobody has made a serious effort to locate the possible graves on this island. I want to add this. If Ships Captain thought there was any danger he wouldn't risk his wife and baby. The Captain knew his ship , had experience crew and rout he took many times over. To many times we think know how the world works. Only to find out how little we know. We become scare and say it's not possible. We then laugh it off and then say it couldn't happen. We get get angry at anybody who don't agree with us. You see we fighting human condition too! To your point about the Ships Captain, his family and ships crew. I don't think so. It wasn't a large island, not all Atlanta Ocean Island had jungles. As for native population. They came from colonists and their slaves. Could it happen your way maybe. But it was on regular sea rout.
