I am looking for the name of a 1940's movie-it was about a cruise ship before ww2 broke out, some passengers were nazi sympathizers, and some, especially one old man, was a Jewish man who was not worried about the situation in Germany. TCM showed it a few times. I would be grateful if anyone knows the name!

It is Ship of Fools. Michael Dunn was in it as the narrator.

I too am looking for a movie: It took place post WW2 in perhaps Czech as the Communist took over. It was about a circus owner trying to keep his troupe together and cross the border into freedom.

I have found that if you just type the major info (plot/actor/timeline into a search engine you can usually find what you are looking for.

Good luck.

Is it possible you remember the name of ANY acting in this
movie? That would be most helpful.

Not being a subscriber of TCM, have no idea, but as you’ve
seen it broadcast on that network, why not contact them to
see if they might help.
Good Luck with your
search.

Not to sound petty, but can FReepers who post vanities stop putting a sentence in the body of the thread (you know, the main part of the post) and then have their entire thoughts in their response post? Sorry it’s just so annoying.

Here is the short synopsis of the movie:

The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on 7 October 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF) off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. A 69-year-old Jewish American man in a wheelchair, Leon Klinghoffer, was murdered by the hijackers and thrown overboard. The hijacking sparked the “Sigonella Crisis”.
