Query: Lengthy soap opera overshadows social commentary

This movie starts out as an ensemble drama examining the racial, religous and class prejudices onboard a cruise ship bound for a newly-Nazified Germany in 1933. Unfortunately, it turns into a wordy mess of a soap opera, that focuses far too much attention on the unsympathetic, frankly pathetic characters played by George Segal and Elizabeth Ashley. By the end of the two and a half hours, I was hoping one would throw the other overboard!In the documentary included with the version in the Stanley Kramer box set, Ashley says that Ship of Fools is the best movie of her career...what does that say about her career?
