Voyage of the Damned (1976)
Regia Stuart Rosenberg
IMDb 6.4
Bazat pe evenimente istorice, acest film dramatic se refera la calatoria din 1939 a MS St. Louis , sub pavilion german, care a plecat din Hamburg transportand 937 de evrei din Germania, cu destinatia Havana , Cuba. Pasagerii, dupa ce au vazut si au suferit un antisemitism in crestere in Germania , si-au dat seama ca aceasta ar putea fi singura lor sansa de a scapa. Filmul detaliaza calatoria emotionanta a pasagerilor, care treptat au devenit constienti ca trecerea lor a fost planificata ca un exercitiu de propaganda nazista si ca Germania nu a intentionat niciodata sa debarce in Cuba. Mai degraba, ei urmau sa fie infiintati ca paria , pentru a da un exemplu in fata lumii. Ca nazistStatele oficiale din film, cand intreaga lume a refuzat sa-i accepte pe evrei ca refugiati , nicio tara nu poate invinovati Germania pentru soarta lor.
Guvernul cubanez refuza intrarea pasagerilor in timp ce nava este in mers, iar apoi linia se indreapta spre Statele Unite. In timp ce asteapta in largul coastei Floridei , pasagerii afla ca si Statele Unite le-au respins, asa cum o face ulterior Canada; lasandu-i capitanului de ales decat sa se intoarca in Europa. Capitanul ii spune unei persoane de incredere ca a primit o scrisoare semnata de 200 de pasageri prin care se spune ca se vor da mana si vor sari in mare decat sa se intoarca in Germania. El isi declara intentia de a esua nava pe un recif in largul coastei de sud a Angliei, pentru a permite pasagerilor sa fie salvati si sa ajunga in siguranta acolo.
Cu putin timp inainte de sfarsitul filmului, se dezvaluie ca guvernele Belgiei, Frantei, Tarilor de Jos si Regatului Unit au fost de acord sa accepte o parte din pasageri ca refugiati. In timp ce aplauda si aplauda la stiri, notele de subsol dezvaluie soarta unora dintre personajele principale, sugerand ca peste 600 dintre cei 937 de pasageri, care nu s-au reinstalat in Marea Britanie, ci in celelalte natiuni europene, au fost in cele din urma deportati si ucisi in Lagarele de concentrare naziste .

Cartea a fost publicata in 1974. Los Angeles Times a numit-o „un document uman de o putere rara si discernatoare". [6] Cartea a fost un best seller, iar autorii au castigat aproximativ 500.000 de lire sterline din ea. [7]
Drepturile asupra cartii au fost achizitionate in 1974. [2] Initial, a fost conceput ca un film al saptamanii ABC , dar bugetul sau de 7,3 milioane de dolari a fost prea scump. [2]
Filmul a fost primul lungmetraj al Associated General Films . [2]
Dunaway a fost platit cu 500.000 de dolari plus un procent din profit. [8]
Filmul a fost filmat la bordul navei maritime italiene inchiriate Irpinia , [9] care a fost echipat cu doua palnii false pentru a semana cu St. Louis. [10] [1] A fost, de asemenea, filmat in Barcelona , Spania (in locul Cuba), [1] [2] St. Pancras Chambers din Londra si la EMI Elstree Studios din Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. [11]
Numarul real al mortilor
Articolul principal: MS St. Louis
The true death toll is uncertain. The 1974 book that was the basis of the film estimated a much lower number of deaths.[5] By using statistical analysis of survival rates for Jews in various Nazi-occupied countries, Thomas and Morgan-Witts estimated the fate of the 621 St. Louis passengers who were not given refuge in Cuba or the United Kingdom (one died during the voyage): 44 (20%) of the 224 refugees that settled in France likely were murdered in the Holocaust, 62 (29%) Holocaust murders amongst the 214 that reached Belgium, and 121 (67%) Holocaust murders amongst the 181 that settled in the Netherlands, for a total of 227 (37%) of the refugees that came under occupation were likely murdered by the Nazis.[12][13] In 1998, Scott Miller and Sarah Ogilvie of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum traced the survivors from the voyage, concluding that a total of 254 refugees or 40.9 percent were murdered by the Nazis.[14]
Eliberare
The film opened on 22 December 1976 in four theatres in New York and Los Angeles.[2]
Box office
According to Lew Grade who helped finance the film, the movie "should have done better" at the box office.[15] He wrote in his memoirs "I thought it was one of the most moving and important films I'd seen in a long time. I just couldn't understand why it didn't become a success" adding that "strangely enough, it did outstanding business in Japan."[16]
Versiune alternativa
The complete, uncut version of the film was 182 minutes long. It was released only once, on the Magnetic Video label in 1980.[citation needed]
