We Dive at Dawn (1943)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: bw 98m
Director: Anthony Asquith
Cast: John Mills, Louis Bradfield, Jack Watling, Eric Portman, Niall MacGinnis

Synopsis:

The crew of a British submarine finds its shore leave cancelled when ordered into the North Sea to seek out a German battleship.

Review:

Wartime morale booster which takes time to set up the domestic arrangements of several seamen before packing them off into action. Below decks life is vividly caught, with the likes of Portman and MacGinnis adding depth to the routine banter between shipmates. There's daring humour (Mills's multiple onshore dates) and violence (Portman stabbing a German officer in cold blood), and it all works up to an impressive action finale in a Danish port by night.
