I had only heard negative comments on this WW2 Columbia Studios programmer. Boy was i surprised how much i enjoyed it! Bruce Bennett headlines as the officer in charge of the naval and sea patrols based out of Iceland. Their job is to keep the Nazi U-boats at bay and escort the convoys taking vital war supplies to England. The Germans of course are less than amused and send several spies into the port. They are to steal a fishing boat and take it out to meet a U-boat. Once there, they will transfer enough explosives to make the boat a floating bomb. When the next convoy comes through they will ram the biggest ship blowing her to pieces and blocking the harbor entrance. Bennett along with John Beal, Larry Parks and a young Lloyd Bridges must take on the Germans in-order to foil their nasty plot. Do they get there in time to save the day? Of course! Quick paced wartime thriller directed by b-film vet Lew Landers who pumped out decent stuff during this era. Landers always got the most out of cast and crew. Loved all the great model work of ships and crashing airplanes. Fun waste of 65 min. (b/w)
