Movie is good; book is great.

Raptor · 02-20-13, 07:28 PM

It was available on Youtube for a while until it got pulled.

I've never seen it on DVD, but there is (was) a VHS tape version.

Saw an audio version on YouTube last night. But I think this is a new production.

...bet it'll be great on the Radio - turn the lights down low, get warm and cosy, a glass of whatever you fancy......listen to those waves

hans svetty · 02-22-13, 02:38 AM

Thank you. It was a fine movie, with Jack Hawkins as the captain, if I'm not mistaken. I wonder if the radio version will work well.

Looking forward,

...really enjoyed the first episode. atmospheric, great sound effects.
Lieutenant-Commander George Ericson has just down the survivors of sunken ship in pursuit of u boat.
i think its serialised in two parts.
