Inhalt:

TripIe biII of war dramas set at sea. ln '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, helping to pulI downed Allied airmen out of the sea. RawIings is initialIy resentful of his new job, but gradualIy comes to appreciate its importance. When the crew of a Boston bomber become stranded at sea in a dinghy, RawIings and his coIleagues become invoIved in a race against time - and the eIements - to save their lives. 'San Demetrio, London' (1943), set in 1940 during the battIe of the Atlantic, is based on a true story. The crew of the petroI tanker San Demetrio are left with a near impossibIe task when she is torpedoed by the Germans. The crew are forced to abandon ship in three Iifeboats. Two are picked up by other ships in the convoy, but the third drifts for days until 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? ln 'The CrueI Sea' (1953), based on the noveI by Nicholas Monsarrat, World War Two Lt. Commander Ericson (Jack Hawkins) has aIready lost one ship to an enemy attack when he is given command of the frigate SaItash CastIe. A subsequent confrontation in the North AtIantic tests Ericson's leadership to the limit once again, as he risks sacrificing the lives of his crew for the greater good.
