The Power by Byron Haskin
2023 movie #176. 1968. The chief scientists running a project on human endurance for the space program are being killed 1 by 1 by telekinesis. Hamilton and Pleshette must find the killer before he kills them. Kind of terrible but fun as well. Motive for the killings? Unknown.
2022 movie #108. 1943. Captain (Massey) and 1st mate (Bogart) pilot a Liberty Ship across the Atlantic dodging Nazi subs. Meant as propaganda on the home front, but it's still an exciting and well made movie. Dedicated to the many merchant seamen who lost their lives in WWII.
Scott is an EVIL EVIL EVIL woman who cares only about money and she'll do whatever it takes to hold on to a bag of money that literally fell into the car she was riding in with her husband. Duryea is also impressive as the crook trying to get the money back--but boy is his character overmatched by the EVIL Scott!
A WWII convoy crosses the Atlantic.
2/4 (Indifferent).
The first ~25 minutes are great (despite some awful propaganda dialog). The rest of the movie has its moments, but is mostly boring.
