Ship of Fools (1965)

Description

"It's a ship of fools," says the philosophical dwarf, Glocken (our narrator), of the Mexican vessel sailing to a pre-Hitler Germany. The fateful cruise follows the lives of its passengers including disciples of Naziism, wealthy Jewish men, sleazy dance troupes and bitter lovers along the 36-day-voyage. From the sad love affair between the ship's doctor, Wilhelm Schumann, and La Contessa, a doomed Spanish noblewoman, to the fading relationship of two young, American artists, the ship serves many characters.

The performances are heartfelt and touching, especially those of Oskar Werner and Simone Signoret and the effective atmosphere reflects the mood and the real sense of the world at that time in history just before so much would change.
