In this acclaimed adaptation of Nicholas Monserrat's epic international bestseller, Jack Hawkins stars as the all-too-human commander of a small convoy escort vessel during the brutal Battle Of The North Atlantic. Amidst an ocean that churns with equal parts heroism and horror, the captain and inexperienced crew of the HMS Compass Rose must wage a constant battle for survival against sudden torpedo attacks by Nazi U-boats as well as the unforgiving cruelty of the sea itself. Denholm Elliott, Stanley Baker, Donald Sinden and Virginia McKenna co-star in this classic drama that was nominated for three British Academy Awards |
