A lot of woolen knit jumpers, cosy duffle coats and British stiff upper lip. This is a good black and white British war film about a true life event.
John Mills was well suited to his role. The film itself is nothing amazing or remarkable, but solid nevertheless. They succeeded in creating a claustrophobic submarine atmosphere, along with an effective dose of suspense throughout.
I was never bored while watching. These brave men deserved their efforts to be put to film, so that more people know of their sacrifices.
The German battleship Tirpitz was a direct threat to my own grandfather during WWII - as he was Royal Navy, taking part in the Arctic Convoys, delivering supplies to the USSR (in Murmansk). This personal connection added an extra element of interest for me.
Recommend to those who enjoy old school British war films and John Mills!
