Thornton Wilder's famous novel of 1927 was entirely created on conjecture, although based on a historical event; the third is a black comedy entirely improvised on a possible scene at one of the luxury bars on the "Titanic"; no one knows what W. Somerset Maugham based his last great novel "without a hero" on; while Sutton Vane's play has been filmed twice, both versions taking great liberties with his text, this one even more so. He was an Englishman like W. Somerset Maugham, an invalid with permanent nervous damages after the First World War, but since both films on his play were American, and it's about a ship bound for America with several Americans, it is as American as it is international, like most of the others are as well.
