Synopsis. Title page from the film: "This story was inspired by the findings of the Attorney-General at Gibraltar, and portrays the grim sea tragedy of the American brig 'Mary Celeste', found drifting and derelict in mid-Atlantic on December 5th, 1872 - one of the strangest and most dramatic chapters in maritime history."
1935’s Mystery of the Mary Celeste (or, if you prefer the US title, Phantom Ship) was the second movie from Hammer Film Productions, and shares many hallmarks with its stablemates. There’s plenty of slow-burning atmosphere, some shocking violence, and – strangely – Bela Lugosi.
Phantom Ship is a 1935 horror film staring Bela Lugosi and is based off the Mary Celeste. Tropes in this work include: 13 Is Unlucky: Discussed briefly, as the ship has 13 people on board along with a black cat. Driven to Suicide: Tooley jumps overboard after Gilling's death. The Smurfette Principle: Sarah Briggs is the only woman aboard the ship.
