Anyone here remember a movie from the `70's called, "Lifeboat"?

It was about a bunch of people having a party and one suggested they play a game called, "Lifeboat" where they sit around a table and pretend they just came off a sinking ship and the life boat doesn't have room for all of them, only one or two people, and they have to decide, based on their virtues and value to society, who gets cast off from the boat and who survives. It becomes quite intense here and there.
The only person I can recall being in it was Eugene Roche, he played the part of the "squeaky clean" dish washer in the Ajax dish soap commercials in the late `60's. I've looked up his film credits on IMDb. com but that one doesn't show up and, if I look up, "Lifeboat", all I get is the Tallulah Bankhead movie from, the `40's about a real lifeboat.

You’re remembering “Lifeboat,” but the one you want isn’t from the 70s. It’s the 1980 TV movie “Lifeboat” (sometimes confused or bundled with the Hitchcock title). The plot is exactly that moral party game where guests decide who deserves to stay in the lifeboat. Eugene Roche was in a ton of TV movies then, which is why it’s so hard to track down now. 🎬🛶

I remember watching it in the early `70's on "Chiller Theatre" and that went odd the air shortly after Saturday Night Live started and I've called up the host when he switched to radio and asked him about the movie and he says he never heard of it or played it on his show.
Also, the only other thing I ever saw Eugene in is the t. v. series, "Soap" between `78 and `82 and, had I seen that movie in the `80's, I would've remembered him as the lawyer from Soap, not just the soap seller from the `60's.

I remember the dishwasher guy but never heard of the movie

[FunkyMonkee]

I CAN'T be the ONLY one that ever saw it.

[Jeff51]

No. Should I watch it?

[FunkyMonkee]

If you can find it. It's not a bad movie.

[Jeff51]

I'll Google it.
