All of the faults of The Sin Ship as entertainment are not to be attributed to direction alone, however. The story, too, is largely to blame.
A contrived melodrama.
Audience Reviews for The Sin Ship
Despite only being 65 minutes long and its suggestive title, this movie moves at a snail's pace, and is a complete snooze. The movie was briefly interesting when Mary Astor's character revealed she had only been acting when she told the ship captain off when he made advances towards her (and her husband, masking as a reverend, is a bank robber on the run), but it doesn't go anywhere afterwards. There are scenes that are dragged out excessively, reflecting a very weak script and a novice director (actually Louis Wolheim, who also plays the captain). It's mystifying to me how anyone could like it, as there are far better and more enjoyable movies from this time period.
