Watched this one last night and thought it very good. Don't think the allies were as successful against U boats this early in the war as portrayed in the movie but the masses must be entertained. Chris

I enjoyed it but felt it seemed like a long scene from a longer movie that was missing the rest.

Now listening to the audio version of The Good Sheppard, the CS Forester book which the movie depicts. Good story from Forester of course. Has many references to Biblical verses which may turn off some. Written in a different time. Chris
