I really don't know where Powell was going with this one: where's the great talent he supposedly surrounds himself with? In this paltry assemblage, he finds Oscar-winning Pressburger, David Lean as editor, Frederick Young on camera and some dude named Vaughan Williams composing, and could then only find the likes of Olivier, Leslie Howard, Eric Portman, Anton Walbrook and Raymond Massey to act in it.
The German U-Boat crew are memorably nasty, except of course for nice Raymond Lovell, who's shot for wanting to be a baker. Damn those Nazis!
