Ship of Fools

The year is 1931, and a cruise ship is bound for Bremerhaven, Germany. On board is a delightfully eccentric cast of characters: a Spanish noblewoman, a German lawyer, an American divorcee, and a pair of Mexican Catholic priests. From the friction among the characters emerges a highly compelling story, one that touches on themes of passion, love, and nationalism, and one which will forever change the lives of its participants. When it was first released in 1962, Ship of Fools was an American classic, and it remains as great today.
