Lifeboat, the 1944 film, is a single-set drama directed by Alfred Hitchcock based in his storyline idea, using a screenplay written by John Steinbeck. It received three Academy Award nominations and no Oscars.
This stands apart from Hitchcock's other work, and was motivated by a desire to do something for the World War II effort.[1] Hitchcock attempts to portray a struggle between good and evil but that was not clear to all critics, some of who declined to praise it. Overall it was well-received.
