This is a movie for diehard and true world war two British army (and Armoured Corps) fans, Made in the early fifties with actual serving and retired wartime soldiers. Half the film reminds me of Carry on Sargeant, taking place in the Guards training depot.Then the other half in western Europe after D day, I got the impression that some experienced soldiers had a say in the screenplay. the story follows two chums, one Yank living in Britain and one posh Brit, there is an Irish lad, but he seems to get left to one side until the rather uncharacteristically sad ending where the two flags fall over to form a cross on the snow covered graves. There are some unlit shots of blackout Britain and some not too good 50's production values where you can't see the actors, but it's more than made up for with footage of Sherman tanks and rare Gerry armour, good original uniforms and radio procedure as well. Not one for the casual onlooker. more for fans and buffs of the subject really.Read full review
Dull 1952 war drama, loosely based on fact, about the adventures of a knackered old American warship - one of many cannily unloaded on the Royal Navy by the U.S. in 1940 in return for valuable bases. As the green crew struggle to learn the RN ropes, the old tub keeps breaking down. Finally the ship, along with a bunch of commandos, is sent on a suicide mission. Trevor Howard, who looks bored or in a trance most of the time, stars with Richard Attenborough. The supporting cast includes Sid James and Dora Bryan. The "special effects", even by the standards of the time, are pathetic. Not recommended.
