The Decks Ran Red 
This under-screened film noir directed by Andrew L. Stone (Stormy Weather, Cry Terror) stars James Mason as the stringent first officer tasked with returning stranded merchant freighter S.S. Berwind from the South Pacific, but scheming sailor Broderick Crawford has other plans. Ripped from the headlines and shot in black-and-white, The Decks Ran Red boasts a bold star turn from Dandridge as the only woman aboard this ship full of lecherous, hardscrabble marines, and a key figure in their fate.

Moment of Danger 
Opening with an expressionistic dead-of-night heist, Moment of Danger (aka Malaga) is a stylish thriller about world-weary London locksmith Trevor Howard who heads to Madrid with Dandridge (fresh off Porgy & Bess) when the pair are double-crossed by her beau. Directed by The Wild One’s László Benedek and shot on location in England and Spain, Moment of Danger is a noir-tinged road movie that finds Dandridge giving one of her most modulated performances. Sadly, the film proved to be her final screen role. Dandridge passed away five years after its completion.
