Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene where Dana Andrews' character, Pat Banyon, comes off the supply schooner, and ties his dinghy up on the dock, watch how he ties the line to the bollard. He uses a fast method to tie a clove hitch, belying Andrews' significant experience as a sailing and boating enthusiast.
- GoofsA crewman states that the mystery vessel must be Danish because the only remaining square riggers are Danish. In fact, Germany also had square rigged ships during this period. One became the American Coast Guard "Eagle" and one the Russian "Tovarisch" as war prizes taken following World War II.
- Quotes
Pat Banyon: Here I am, towing the Nazi's victim to the harbor and I feel it's exactly what they want me to do.
- Crazy creditsOpening Credits: FOREWARD When war engulfs the world, giant forces are marshalled for conflict. Smashing victories are won and heroes are heralded far and wide. Often forgotten are the small victories, the acts of great personal courage by little people. This is the story of one small victory in World War II.
Featured review
Dana Andrews on a fishing boat coping with the German fleet of Nazi submarines.
Dana Andrews as a fisherman captain and Claude Rains as another captain on an abandoned ship - what could go wrong? Of course everything goes wrong by calculation. Dana Andrews is honest enough as always, while Claude Rains, as usual, has quite some hidden agenda. What's impressing about this war film at sea is the almost expressionistic cinematography - Claude Rains' ship like the "Mary Celeste" floats around at sea without any crew and with a cargo of rum, and it's a beautiful schooner with terrific rigging, although they have all been blown to rags and pieces, like on a ghost ship. Captain Andrews tows the mysterious ship to a small fishing village in Newfoundland, where the war barges in with a vengeance. The test of strength and war of nerves between the two captains is the main human asset of the film, while it is mostly worth watching for the spectacular cinematography, added to by the dramatic music.
