"The Secret of the Mary Celeste" has a strong sense of suspense, with realistic and natural visuals, and finely detailed character portrayals. The suspense that runs throughout the film is only resolved at the very end. The director's meticulous depiction of the characters' psychology makes this classic film still astonishing, even by today's standards! The merchant ship Mary Celeste, loaded with goods, is ready to leave New York Harbor for Italy. Captain Benjamin wants his wife, Sara, to accompany him. Benjamin describes the beauty of the sea, with its red dawns, groups of white sails, and wonderful nights. His descriptions completely alleviate Sara's fear of going to sea. Another captain, Jim, also loves Sara. He and Benjamin were once friends but parted ways over their shared love for her. As the merchant ship is about to set sail, there aren’t enough sailors, and Benjamin seeks Jim’s help. However, Jim maliciously sends someone aboard the "Mary," wanting Benjamin to fail to reach his destination. The crew member, Anderson, has a grudge against Wilson, the first mate of the "Mary," and he also sets out with Jim's ship. A storm arises at sea, and the merchant ship is tossed about, with some crew members perishing in the depths. Anderson warns Sara that danger lurks from the moment their voyage begins, destined to lead to death. Sara becomes very afraid, and what happens next terrifies her even more, as crew members are murdered one after another, and death envelops the "Mary." Captain Benjamin and Sara go missing, leaving only Wilson and Anderson alive. The truth finally comes to light: all of this is a result of Anderson’s desire for revenge. Anderson shoots Wilson and then jumps into the sea, delusional. Jim's merchant ship eventually discovers the "Mary" adrift at sea, but there is no one on board.
