DVD Description
The novel The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Monsarrat was an unflinching portrayal of life at sea during WWII on a boat tasked with protecting convoys and seeking and destroying U-boats. Nominated for a BAFTA for Best British Film, The Cruel Sea stars Jack Hawkins, Sir Donald Sinden and Stanley Baker, and is a gripping insight into the lives of unsung heroes at sea during the war, and the agonizing decisions and incredible peril they faced on a daily basis.

My partner, who is 87 years old, found this film fascinating as he experienced these war years himself, being a member of the RAF. It was good to see so many of the actors who became very famous in later years. The acting was superb. Having been digitally restored, the quality of the DVD was excellent. A great purchase which I can recommend to anyone who is interested in World War Two.

It was a pleasure to look at this movie again.Without being over the top it captured the book just brilliantly.Whilst the acting was not Oscar standard it was well acted and a film to see again.This film gives a view of England during the war years.My late brother served on a corvette just after the war but he often spoke with tenderness of the ship and his comrades.

Still exudes a typically British understated view of what must have been a horrendous task of Convoy duty in the Atlantic . Still a classic .

A classic war film
This restored DVD is of very acceptable quality. The content is well known, but portrays the agonies and ecstasies of convoy patrol life in a very convincing way. Read more

I bought this version of the film from Amazon to replace my original copy, as it was billed as 'digitally restored'. Read more
