I saw "Seven Waves Away" as a child and it burned into my consciousness. I have since watched it on quite a few times and it is as gripping each time as the first. The cast and acting is first class and the action, although it is limited almost solely to an 18 foot boat, is as realistic as it gets. Tyrone Power is brilliant as the captain who is faced with the desperate situation with an invidious decision to make. It is good that he was given a chance to show the world he could really act in this and a couple of other films late in his career. Bouquets also to Moira Lister, Mai Zetterling and Lloyd Nolan but all the cast added something of value to the drama. This film might be very favorably compared to Hitchcock's "Lifeboat" with its similarity of situation and character revelation. Unforgettable conclusion.
