Some modern critics have interpreted The Ghost Ship as a coded study on repressed homosexuality. I, for one, totally agree, but I’ve also always insisted Jaws was a gay or at least homosocial love story, so I'm pretty biased ...

During his Vegas days, Howard Hughes owned a local TV station and the entire R.K.O. catalog of films. He would often have the station play movies of his choice commercial free like a 1960s Eccentric Billionaire Netflix account. He'd even ask them to rewind the films to his specifications when he missed parts. Locals didn't mind much because it was commercial-free.

Ghost Ship only exists because of budgeting on set design. The elaborate ship set was originally designed for Pacific Liner (1938), and R.K.O. gave Val Newton instructions to come up with a nautical film that could re-use it. James Cameron should really get his money’s worth out of that Titanic set and make a Britannic knock-off, imho …

Hmm ...with the portrayal of 1930s shipp duties, this movie kind of has some Capitalist Realist genre overtones; before it gets all Heart-Of-Dankness-y later on, obviously ...
