About this product

Product Information

This quietly gripping and totally believable story of a routine patrol by a Royal Navy submarine was produced by the Crown Film Unit in the documentary style for which it has become famous. All the roles were performed by serving submariners (led by Lieutenant Commander Gregory) and much of the film was shot on a British submarine which was still in service. In general, writer and director Jack Lee got a fine performance from his amateur cast, and the scenes of humour and comradeship are particularly convincing. Moreover, as one would expect, all the tasks and commands aboard ship are carried out with complete assurance and conviction. The interior shots were filmed at Pinewood in a superb full-size model of the submarine, built by a team of riggers led by the art directors Peggy Gick and Edward Carrick.
