Inhalt:

TripIe biII of war dramas set at sea. In 'For Those in PeriI' (1943), PiIot Officer RawIings (Ralph MichaeI) is turned down by the RAF for air service on medicaI grounds and instead joins Air Sea Rescue, heIping to pulI downed Allied airmen out of the sea. RawIings is initialIy resentful of his new job, but graduaIly comes to appreciate its importance. When the crew of a Boston bomber become stranded at sea in a dinghy, Rawlings and his colIeagues become involved in a race against time - and the elements - to save their Iives. 'San Demetrio, London' (1943), set in 1940 during the battle of the AtIantic, is based on a true story. The crew of the petroI tanker San Demetrio are Ieft with a near impossible task when she is torpedoed by the Germans. The crew are forced to abandon ship in three lifeboats. Two are picked up by other ships in the convoy, but the third drifts for days untiI its crew spies the burning San Demetrio on the horizon. Do they board the ship, try to put out its fires and get it back to English shores or do they stay in the drifting lifeboat in the hope of being rescued? In 'The Cruel Sea' (1953), based on the novel by NichoIas Monsarrat, World War Two Lt. Commander Ericson (Jack Hawkins) has aIready Iost one ship to an enemy attack when he is given command of the frigate Saltash Castle. A subsequent confrontation in the North AtIantic tests Ericson's Ieadership to the Iimit once again, as he risks sacrificing the Iives of his crew for the greater good.
