A Turkish colonel (Orson Welles) arranges for him to travel home by steamer &#8212; but when his would-be assassin (Jack Moss) appears to be stalking him on-board the ship, Cotten relies on the friendship of a beautiful nightclub dancer (Dolores Del Rio) to help him make sense of his nightmarish situation.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>\n<strong>Genres, Themes, Actors, and Directors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At Sea<\/li>\n<li>Dolores Del Rio Films<\/li>\n<li>Hans Conried Films<\/li>\n<li>Joseph Cotten Films<\/li>\n<li>Living Nightmare<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;No One Believes Me!&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Orson Welles Films<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Review: <\/strong><br \/>\nOrson Welles was reportedly deeply unhappy with the results of this adaptation of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Journey_into_Fear_(novel)\">Eric Ambler&#8217;s spy-novel<\/a>, which he designed, produced, and co-scripted (with Cotten), but which got severely butchered by RKO during editing. It&#8217;s easy to understand why Welles was so upset: the footage that&#8217;s here (just 69 minutes) is atmospheric, creatively filmed (by director Norman Foster and DP Karl Struss), and filled with quirky characters and dialogue &#8212; but the whirlwind tale needs much more context to sufficiently flesh it out. The existing film is essentially a Kafka-esque living-nightmare &#8212; straightforward to follow, but in a way that will have your head spinning with endless unanswered questions: Was Cotten&#8217;s life jeopardized from the get-go, or did Sloane trigger a domino effect, and if so, to what point? Is this meant to be a &#8220;realistic&#8221; spy thriller, or an allegorical tale about the insanity of war? Is Cotten&#8217;s marriage really at risk, or was his voice-over added to bring &#8220;romantic tension&#8221; to the story? Fans of Welles&#8217; distinctive work will certainly be curious to check out this interesting film,  but be prepared for frustration at what-might-have-been.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Atmospheric cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"464\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography2.png 624w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography2-128x95.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography2-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"464\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography.png 624w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography-128x95.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Cinematography-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Creative direction<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"464\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction2.png 624w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction2-128x95.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction2-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"464\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction.png 624w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction-128x95.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Journey-Into-Fear-Direction-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, though it&#8217;s recommended for its historical and cinematic interest.
