...heated) and more art than several substantial museums. It has 30 bars, lounges and public galleries, and in its ample pantries carries 23,000 liters of wine, 3,500 liters of champagne and Asti Spumante and 330 Ibs. of Iranian caviar. The ship also carries, however, a technical flaw common to many new ships: strong vibrations caused by slight faults in the propellers, which will be replaced when it returns to Genoa...

...more basic flaw of the film is evidenced in the climactic cry of anguish that sounds Sol Nazerman's re-entry into the human race but echoes mostly as a triumph for Actor Steiger. Saddled with dialogue better suited to a symbol, Steiger speaks it like a man, succeeding so well that the character incriminates himself.
