I had never even heard of this flic.... i THOUGHT it would be just a little take-off on "Dinner at Eight" as Mr. Pallette, and Ms. Burke were featured... By all means, one HAS to see this!... a GREAT script with wonderful philosophical support!.. Mr. "S" does a great job of NOT acting like the cliche drunk. The cast is great- i, being a neophyte, had never heard of Ona Munson....wonder why she didn't be part of MGM, instead of Republic ?... Mr. Osborne says the movie was cut to 60 minutes for TV in the fifties; luckily it has been restored to it's original 87 minutes now.

The only short coming is the DUMB title! Even on TV they changed it to the 'Castaways'... not much better!

Wow! What a movie! So glad TCM ran it Christmas Eve--I loved it.

The quality of this movie on TCM was so much better than the copy I have. Unfortunately I was in the middle of cooking dinner so I couldn't sit down and watch the whole movie. I wish they would have replayed it today.

Hopefully it will be a Christmas tradition now that they have shown it this year.

Unfortunetly, where I live the film lost its sound about one third of the way in so we could not enjoy it. What a drag!

Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.

That is horrible!!!! From time to time a split second power outage has stopped my ol' VCR recording something, and/or I underestimate the time left on the tape, and miss the end.

And the murderer is.....
