A film that continues to divide opinion even now as it recounts the exploits of HMS "Torrin" a Royal Navy destroyer during WWII. I have to say that I found this to be just a little too much of a propaganda instrument than I was comfortable with - but it was made during the war, and it is very easy to be sitting now judging the activities of those who were actually risking their lives on an hourly basis, and of those charged with maintaining morale. Noël Coward heads this up as an almost aristocratic and really rather wooden "Captain Kinross" but the ensemble cast - John Mills, Bernard Miles, Richard Attenborough, Kay Walsh and Joyce Carey are much more engaging as the nuts and bolts characters and their spouses. The story is related in flashback form as the ship has been torpedoed and the sailors are in the sea awaiting rescue (or death) and delivers a poignant and thought-provoking evaluation not just of wartime behaviour, but of attitudes too.
