Terrific Film
3 May 2009
I had the pleasure of viewing a complete copy of The Blood Ship last night at the Capitol Theatre in Rome, NY. It was part of their regular presentation of silent films and rare early talkies at various times throughout the year. The other reviewer is spot on as this film is a rousing adventure melodrama especially when you view it with live theater organ accompaniment, thundering during the mutiny. Were this available on DVD, I would buy it in a minute. Thank God the final reel has since been discovered in great shape. I hope the other reviewer gets a chance to see the entire film. Great to see Fred Kohler (a terrific overlooked villain) as the nefarious first mate. This movie is high action melodrama, and, if you have the chance, I highly recommend that you see The Blood Ship.
