Even in a very early melodrama like this, Mary Astor is wonderful. What an illustrious and long career she had. This is not to say that she's anywhere near her best in "The Sin Ship." It seems to have been directed to showcase its star -- director and star being one and the same, and nothing much to speak of.
Mary boards a ship with her companion, ostensibly a prim minister. She is a proper lady, who rebuffs the captain's advances. A sailor on the ship is, of all people, Hugh Herbert. He doesn't play a goofy womanizer. He wears a sailor suit and plays things pretty straight.
The movie isn't bad, exactly. It's very dated, though. The main, if not the only, reason to see it is Mary Astor.
