Review :
Strong Wartime Drama
Strong drama about the 1949 incident involving HMS Amethyst. Quite real looking for a 1957 film, even the acting isn't as stilted as most films from that era. The battle sceanes are excellently done using real ships.
Well worth watching for some history about an incident which seems to have been forgotten about.
