Rating:
Renowned character actor Joe_Mantegna makes his directorial debut with this film adaptation of one of David_Mamet's first plays, boasting such onscreen talent as Peter_Falk, Charles_Durning, and Robert_Forster. Based on Mamet's experiences of working on Great Lake freighters while a grad student, the film centers on Dale (Tony_Mamet, David's brother), an Ivy League college kid working on the Seaway Queen on an internship one summer. Though his romantic vision of life on the sea is soon dashed, he befriends a half-dozen members of the world-weary crew and learns about the unexpectedly rich -- and occasionally tragic -- lives they lead. This film premiered at the 2000 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival. Jonathan Crow, Rovi
