Projecting The Archive: THE DECKS RAN RED 35mm aka Infamy at Sea + Recorded intro by Mia Mask, author of ‘Divas on Screen: Black Women in American Film’ at BFI Southbank (25 OCT 18:30).

“Dorothy Dandridge stars as a cook’s wife who helps to thwart the mutinous crew of a freighter. First Officer Ed Rumill (James Mason) can’t turn down his first chance to helm a ship, even though it’s a rusty old freighter and the last captain died in mysterious circumstances. He soon realises that mutiny is brewing and enlists the help of the cook’s attractive young wife (Dorothy Dandridge) to save the ship. Dandridge, whose centenary is this November, holds her own among the testosterone-fuelled cast, giving a compelling performance that takes her character from femme fatale to action hero. With implausible plotting and over-the-top dialogue, the film is a rollercoaster ride of adventure and melodrama.” (BFI)
