The Sin Ship	comment	The Sin Ship is a 1931 film directed by Louis Wolheim.Wolheim also stars as Captain Sam McVeigh, a roughnecked, hard-drinking merchant marine captain. McVeigh has just pulled in to San Diego when he is approached by a missionary, Rev. Marsden. Rev. Marsden asks for passage to Central America so he can go on a mission. McVeigh agrees, mainly because he likes the looks of Marsden's lovely wife Kitty (Mary Astor).Sam corners Kitty in his cabin and demands sex. She gives him a scornful speech in which she demands that he "Clean up your mind! And your soul!" Moved by her example, Sam decides to turn over a new leaf and live a righteous life. What he doesn't know is that Marsden and Kitty are frauds. In fact, they are criminals, who are on the lam after they robbed a bank.Louis Wolheim's last film, and the only one he directed. It came out two months after Wolheim died of stomach cancer.
