What The Ship That Died of Shame Is About
After the Second World War ends, the crew of a motor gunboat comes back together. They decide to buy their old vessel and set up in business for themselves. The plan sounds honest enough. But the business they choose is smuggling. What starts as small cargo grows heavier, and the crew find themselves somewhere else entirely. The friendship they had in the war cannot carry the work. The film uses the ship almost as a character. It comes out of the British noir vein of the fifties. George Baker and Richard Attenborough take the leads, with Virginia McKenna also in the cast. Basil Dearden’s ninety five minute British film was completed in 1955.
