Marlon Brando and Yul Brynner star in the suspenseful World War II thriller Morituri (1965), directed by Bernhard Wicki, written by Daniel Taradash, and shot by the one and only Conrad Hall. The action takes place on a blockade-running freighter traveling from Yokohama to Bordeaux with a load of vital war materiel; Brando is a German deserter recruited by the British to help obtain the cargo, while Brynner is the ship’s captain, ready to scuttle his own ship if threatened with capture. Also starring the lovely Janet Margolin as a concentration camp escapee, and featuring a host of piquant European character actors.
