I have never seen this film until recently but I had heard about the original version Outward Bound years ago and was intrigued by the premise. After reading up about the film I rightly assumed by the cast, namely headed by Leslie Howard, not one of my favorite actors, and also by the year of release, 1930, that it would look and feel like a filmed play. Reviews did recommend the re-make as being a better film. It is an entertaining film about the fantasy, to some people, to others very real, of being caught between life and death, death being very much on the minds of most people at this time. It held to the early 40's notions of film content/style etc. so it held up to my expectations. Seeing Sidney Greenstreet in any role is always a thrill.
