The Cruel Sea - DVD

About the film

An excellent documentary style film about a British ship in the North Atlantic during World War II. The hardships, loneliness and dangers of the sea are faithfully recreated. Academy Award Nominations: Best Screenplay.

The Cruel Sea has become a classic of British cinema largely because it is a straightforward, no-frills adaptation of the book and retains much of the original's compelling yet almost understated dramatic focus. On convoy duty in the North Atlantic, the crew of HMS Compass Rose face as a matter of routine the threat of destruction from U-Boats as well as a constant struggle against the elements. The convoys themselves are Britain's only lifeline and their loss would lead to certain defeat, but in the early years of the war the ships sent to protect them can do almost nothing to prevent the U-Boat attacks. Jack Hawkins gives one of his finest performances as Captain Ericson, the commander who has to balance destroying the enemy against saving the lives of the men under his care. In one unforgettable scene--a crucial turning point for all the characters--he must decide whether to depth charge a suspected submarine despite the presence of British sailors in the water.
