Dir. Anthony Asquith·1943·1h 38m

A gripping tale of WWII naval warfare in the Baltics, starring John Mills as Lt. Freddie Taylor, a British submarine Captain.

In the ensuing battle the British submarine is damaged by a German destroyer.

When it seems that their only option may be to blow up the submarine and try to escape to Denmark, seaman James Hobson hatches a plan...
