Die den Tod nicht fürchten (1959)

Die den Tod nicht fürchten: Directed by Michael Anderson. With Gary Cooper, Charlton Heston, Michael Redgrave, Emlyn Williams. A disgraced merchant marine officer elects to stay aboard his sinking cargo ship in order to prove the vessel was deliberately scuttled and, as a result, vindicate his good name.

“I watched the Wreck of the Mary Deare last night on TCM. I agree with the other reviewers, for the most part. However, I just love Gary Cooper, and it was quite obvious that he was not well when he made this movie. He looked sick and it seemed that he was just walking through his part. He died from prostate cancer a few years after this movie was released.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI remember the Oscar show when Gary Cooper got an honorable Oscar award and Jimmy Stewart accepted for him. Stewart was very emotional when he accepted the award on behalf of Cooper, so it was quite obvious that Cooper was seriously ill. And he was! With regard to Charlton Heston, he always gave a strong performance. And to watch him in the Michael Moore documentary, u0026quot;Bowling at Columbine,u0026quot; was a sad sight to see! A lot of great actors and actresses in this movie, a lot of them gone.”
