Bette Davis are including the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast crime novelist whodunit.

The main star does excellent performance in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the commander of an commercial transport commandeered by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa.
