Thrashing in the water, Buie was too shocked with the cold to shout to the stern watch, tried swimming after his ship, then gave up. Nobody knew he was gone. Remembering his survival training, he quickly kicked off his shoes, stripped off his blue denim dungarees and knotted the pants legs. By popping the pants sharply onto the water, waistband first, he trapped an air bubble in each leg-and there, with his improvised float, he bobbed in the black sea.

It is too often stilted, static, unreal, and riddled with tasteless jokes and cliches that would embarrass Helen Trent. It is also awkwardly resolved: the play ended with the girl surviving the abortion-and only then did the walls of noncommunication tumble -but the movie tacks on a climactic chase in the night, in which the boy's father snatches the girl from danger, then gives...
