Format:DVD
A truly realistic wartime drama. Based upon a true story of men sent out in canoes, dropped at night from submarines, to sink enemy shipping by placing limpet mines on the ships hulls in enemy ports. A fascinating film that l watched as a boy when the film first came out over 40 years ago and it hasn't lost it's edge.Wonderfull acting, made when the 2nd world war was still fresh in the minds of the scriptwriters and directors.

WOW, if you want to see the way the war was won, the skills and bravery, and sheer brilliance of the people who fought it, I'd highly recommend this film. There is also alot of humour in this film too.. as in real life you need humour to get through the horrors. I can't recommend this film highly enough.

This movie was different, Expecting a war movie it was funny to see how this part of warfare was comic.

Book was far better
The book was brilliant but I was very disapointed with the DVD, all the names had been changed and the TRUE story had too many changes.

Unengaging
I'm normally a great fan of the classic British war films, but this one is very stilted and dull. Jose Ferrer did a poor job directing, the pace never picked up and it all felt... Read more
