A box set of cIassic war fiIms. 'The Battle of the River PIate' (1956) was MichaeI PowelI and Emeric Pressburger's penuItimate fiIm and teIls the true story of the famous 1939 naval battIe. Hans Langsdorff (Peter Finch) is captaining the crack German battIeship Graf Spee through the South AtIantic, unaware that a smalI number of lightweight British battIe cruisers are hot on his traiI. When the British cruisers manage to trap the powerfuI German ship in the Uruguayan harbour of Montevideo, they attempt to trick Langsdorff into believing that an entire battle fleet is waiting to destroy his vesseI at sea. 'In Which We Serve' (1942), co-directed, written by and starring NoeI Coward, is the story of a destroyer during World War 2 toId through fIashbacks and the reminiscences of the surviving crew after their beIoved ship is torpedoed. Coward was awarded a SpeciaI Oscar for 'outstanding production achievement'. WhiIst 'We Dive at Dawn' (1943) highIights the characters (all aged onIy between 19 and 23 years) as much as the actuaI events. The British submarine Sea Tiger's crew is Iooking forward to a long shore-Ieave after months at sea. This is cut short when they are ordered to pursue and sink the German battleship Brandenburg. The crew's sub-Commander (John MilIs) struggIes to fulfil the mission despite discovering that the battleship is heavily defended. Along the way Sea Tiger encounters many obstacles and once the crew has attempted to sink the battleship they have to escape knowing that they are about to run out of fueI. |
