I was impressed the U boat officers and crew were speaking German, those of other nationalities were speaking native tongues, pretty rare for films of that era.
I did chuckle a little at the u boat crews in such nice clean proper uniforms lol but understand they had no clue about how things actually were on the boats.
Definitely one of my favorite WW 2 movies now and told the story of some unsung heroes, the merchant mariners.Check it out if get a chance.

Hello,
i also watched this movie some time ago in original language without Polish subtitles (i understood most of it, except of some strange slang expressions and phrases).
Very good movie with funny dialogs.
. It is interesting to see how people in America used to talk back in the 40's
.
The movie is regarding important part of the Battle of Atlantic - delivering convoys to Murmansk to support Russia in war against Germany, which was a deadly business for the sailors of the Allied merchant fleet.
I recommend another old war movie (a British one): "Sink the Bismarck!"
Very interesting plot and gripping action, also very detailed.
