Dangerous Voyage
Dangerous Voyage is a 1954 British mystery crime film directed by Vernon Sewell and starring William Lundigan, Naomi Chance and Vincent Ball. It was produced as a second feature distributed by Anglo-Amalgamated in the UK, and in the United States by Lippert Pictures as Terror Ship. Plot
Author Peter Duncan investigates the circumstances of a damaged yacht and its crew who are taken under tow off the English coast, and the subsequent disappearance of the crew before they reach land. The mast is somehow radioactive but after replacement a geiger counter still picks up a strong reading. When they try to find the old mast on the junk heap it has disappeared. Cast

Production
The film was shot at Merton Park Studios in London, with sets designed by art director George Haslam. Location shooting took place in the English Channel, in Honfleur in France, and Shoreham in Sussex. Vernon Sewell later said the film was originally to be about motor car racing and he refused to direct it. As they had already contracted William Lundigan they hired a blacklisted American screenwriter to change the script to be set on Sewell's yacht. Reception
Kine Weekly wrote: "Windswept crime melodrama set mainly on the briny. [...] A slap-up climax makes it watertight. Good British "programmer"". In British Sound Films David Quinlan says: "Same old British 'B' problem: good ideas but mediocre execution. Laughs in the wrong places." References
