Divine est un film français réalisé par Max Ophüls, sorti en 1935.

The pleasures of La Divine Croisière are to be found more in Jean Murat’s performance as a rapacious ship owner who willingly sends an entire village of young sailors to almost certain death on the high seas, and in the film’s scenes of desperation, pettiness, and misery among the shipwrecked men and their families back home, than in any notion of the ship owner’s heroic daughter as a saver of lost souls.
