A second chilling thriller adaptation eventually came to life after Welles' death.
The Big Picture Orson Welles is considered one of the most influential filmmakers of all time. His first foray onto the screen, Citizen Kane, is still hailed among the greatest movies ever made, and his radio play of War of the Worlds remains infamous for its impact. He was prolific and passionate and put his whole being into whatever project he picked up.
What Is 'Dead Calm' About? 1989’s Dead Calm takes the framework of Williams’ story and rearranges the dynamics a bit. Royal Australian Navy officer John Ingram and his wife Rae take to the ocean in an attempt to recover after the tragic loss of their young son. The opening sequence shows the incident, in which Rae is driving and the little boy unfastens his seatbelt, distracting his mother from the road and causing him to go headlong through the windshield.
When John manages to get the power back on onboard the Orpheus, home movies start running which show snippets of Hughie’s trip before the deaths and the ship being wrecked, and even these don’t spell anything out. They simply offer realistic glimpses into his interactions with other people, and leave you to deduce what sort of a man he is, what led to the great Orpheus massacre, and what he will do now he has Rae trapped.
