When the captain looks at Ruth Stanton Bowman's hand to see if there is a wedding ring, the close up shot is of a hand without nail polish. The next longer shot shows Ruth Stanton Bowman's nails to be polished.

Quotes
Ruth Stanton Bowman: Hello?
John Bowman: Ruth? This is John.
Ruth Stanton Bowman: Oh, John! Oh, my darling, where are you? What happened? I've been frantic!
John Bowman: I can't tell you. I'm hiding. I can't let them find me.
Ruth Stanton Bowman: Oh John, I can't hear you. Are you alright?
John Bowman: We're in terrible danger, Ruth. I'll tell you more when I can. All I can say now is, don't trust anyone. Not anyone.
Ruth Stanton Bowman: John, can't I see you?
John Bowman: No, not now. We're being watched, both of us. I must see you, but not now. I'll call you tomorrow night, at 10.
Ruth Stanton Bowman: No John, John, oh no, answer me darling! Oh no!

Great mystery set on a ship

I love this movie so much!! One of, in my opinion, the best mysteries ever!! Great acting by everyone involved and a pleasure to watch--believe me, you won't fall asleep watching this one. It is very atmospheric in some scenes, especially the night shots on board.

All about a bride who boards a ship for her honeymoon and her husband disappears while on the ship!! Not until the last few minutes do we finally know what happened to him!! Be sure and see this film and you won't be disappointed!! I only wish this great film would be released on DVD. I would be among the first to buy it!! I love this film so much I bought an original poster for the film and had it framed and it now hangs in my bedroom!!
