63 Torture Ship ( 1939 )
This is a pretty terrible offering from Victor Halperin.
A number of convicts including two women are on board a cruise ship. Dr Stander ( Irving Pichel ) is conducting neurological experiments on them. The ship's crew includes his nephew Bob ( Lyle Talbot ) who falls for one of the women Joan who is only guilty by association. Dr Stander has plans for both of them.
It's cheap, incoherent and badly acted.
Julie Bishop ( as Joan )
Sex : No, two rape threats are not carried out
Death : Survives
Julie was originally Jacqueline Wells and the films she made as a child actress in the twenties were under that name. She had most success in the forties although her career lasted into the mid-fifties. She died in 2001 aged 87.
Sheila Bromley ( as Poison Mary )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Sheila was best known for Westerns but she too had a lengthy career lasting into the sixties. She died in 2003 aged 91.
