Anyone Ever See The Movie Convoy?
 

Not the 1978 trucking movie....:nope:


I picked up one of those old movie collections that sell for about 5 bucks in the bargain bin and feature 20 or so old B&W movies.

The one I bought consists of old WWII movies and has the title CONVOY listed. The brief discription says it deals with the Atlantic Submarine war.

I was planning to watch it this weekend when I can find a bit of time to relax and watch it in peace.

Just wondering if anybody might have seen it and could give me a bit of a preview.

I found nothing on the web about it. So it must be really old. Heck who knows. Some of these oldies can be pretty good.

I have a book by the same name by Martins Middlebrook.

It's the story of Convoy SC122 and HX229.

Compelling reading retrospectivly knowing history.

Hey, I've got that in my film library :DL

Not too bad considering it was made in 1940....a nice blend of war footage and models, not forgetting the image portrayed of the RN tradition of engaging the enemy at every opportunity regardless of the odds.

Did anyone spot/recognise the young fellow at 13:30?

All I see is a black square, same with going to imageshack! :down:

Yeah I noticed that....so I edited it out :hmmm:

You'll have to d/l the movie and play it with VLC now :DL

Which now makes my post look really stupid and irrelevent :yeah:


...just like all my others! :wah:

LOL :DL
