Yay for Netflix, it's now at the top of my queue.

I have this film on DVD as part of a Humphrey Bogart box set I bought a few years back. It is a very good film. The U-Boat scenes are a bit laughable (in one scene you can even see the tether used to control the model on the port side of the boat), but given that it was obviously a quickly made propaganda-type film, it is quite enjoyable. I sometimes have thought this film might deserve a remake. We here in the States have had cable TV movies about the land war ("The Pacific") and other such subjects, but there has not been a film dramatizing the Battle of the Atlantic and/or the efforts of the Merchant Marine. Maybe Tom Hanks could get on this.

By the way, if you buy the DVD, the film is presented as a "night out at the movies" including a period newreel and cartoon short.

Glad I turned some of you on to the film. It's not bad for its age I enjoyed it and i'm 29.
