| User ReviewMatt .Bit of an odd movie here, about the British trying out some new technologies to try to get at the Germans during WWII. They have Mini Submarines and manned torpedoes! We see a group of British Navy training to use these and then going on a mission to sink a German ship. Not as exciting as it sounds, it's actually on the dull side of things, with a very very very odd conclusion. Yay Germans win! |
| User ReviewAndrew HStirring British derring-do - based on true events during WW2. Still enjoyably told, if obviously dated - a classic British war flick! |
| User ReviewPaul DA true story given the post war hero treatment. A dated but entertaining tale in British movie history. |
| User ReviewIlsa WDated, uninspiring stuff. Surely if they were torpedoing the Tirpitz they might find at least one submarine that worked. |
