Ship of Fools (Standard Edition)

Stanley Kramer's star-studded, Oscar-winning adaptation of Katherine Anne Porter's novel about passengers aboard an ocean liner bound to Germany from Mexico in 1933 forms a potent allegory of a world drifting inexorably towards war. With its incredible cast – including Vivien Leigh (in her last screen role), Simone Signoret, Lee Marvin, George Segal, Oskar Werner and Jose Ferrer – Ship of Fools is a powerful drama and a compelling viewing experience. It remains one of the finest ensemble pieces of the period.High Definition remasterOriginal mono audioAudio commentary with Nick Redman, Lem Dobbs and Julie KirgoKaren Kramer Introduction (2007, 2 mins)On Board the Ship of Fools (2007, 28 mins)Voyage on a Soundstage (2007, 11 mins)Original theatrical trailerImage gallery: on-set and promotional photographyNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
