In Brief:Dangerous Charter (1962)

Good B movie thriller about a fishing boat that finds a deserted yacht and takes it in. There is no sign of who owns it but the authorities suspect a certain known criminal. The authorities turn the boat over to the fishing boat crew under the laws of salvage but warn them the boats previous owner might want to get it back. Of course he does and what follows is the rest of the movie.

Not particularly original this is a very watchable little thriller that follows all of the typical conventions of a story like this. Is it the best film ever to come down the pike, no, but I didn't mind spending the 75 minutes with it that it took to tell the story, which in many cases is all one can ask of a film.
