The life and times of a British WW2 ship told in flashback. Loosely based on the war time experiences of Louis Mountbatten.
A powerhouse classic that drags you in and doesn't let go for a single second. Not only one of the best war films of all time, but the best told from a navy perspective. Hasn't dated one little bit since it was made in 1942.
Actor/Director (with help from David Lean) Coward made the filming as much like reality as possible and the scenes in the tank almost resulted in the drowning of several of the actors - including Coward himself!
If you haven't seen it you really should because it belongs in the highest rank of world cinema.
