Continuity: As the passengers disembark at the end, Johann pauses on the steps to watch Amparo walk by, when Tenny appears walking down the steps behind Johann. Immediately the film cuts to a shot of the gangplank above, where Tenny is seen just leaving the ship. moreQuotes:
Mary Treadwell: Everybody on this ship is in love. Love me whether or not I love you. Love me whether I am fit to love. Love me whether I am able to love. Even is there is no such thing as love. Love me. moreSoundtrack:

Not one moment of this film is without meaning. While some of it is a bit too obvious, most is done with a light enough touch. The main reason I like this film is because of how closely it touches true human emotions. The relationship between Simone Signore and Oskar Werner is a masterpiece in subtlety and never follows a trite pattern. Just as Werner says it is the only thing that is real to him, it is so very real to us also. The other characters are not as well developed in my opinion, though they are still interesting. I fell in love with Oskar Werner in this film & every time I see it,it is fresh. I will have to find a copy of the book to see if the other characters are developed more there. I have seen other films that are moving & approached so very near to reality, but this is the only one that I feel is/was a slice of reality.
