[Film] The Cruel Sea

[jakarta]

Fill-in time before the game, it is on at 1PM on BBC2, will finish at 3 PM, one of the finest War Films ever.

Grim isn't the word for loads of the film, but that was the Battle of the Atlantic.

The book was written by Lt Commander Nicholas Montsarrat RNVR, who served on corvettes in WW2.

Excellent film.

Excellent film, excellent book.

My second favourite war film ever, (after Ice Cold in Alex starring John Mills), they knew how to make a war film back in the 1950's.

Both made in black and white of course, and absolute classics.

The book is better, you can really feel the struggle..... but the film is good.

I woke up at 5 this morning and fancied a film to get to brekkie...

Went with Das Boot which was, in the words of the OP, grim ( and brilliant to boot or even das boot )

The TV series is also a really good watch.
