I can see that this film is more of a documentary piece than an entertaining war film. I suppose that is the period it what was made.
To be fair for a British/Rank production it had good production values shot in glorious Vistavision it looks good now.
The film has several British actors of note, Bernard Lee, Christopher Lee and Patrick Macnee. I seem to think Bernard Lee appeared in all these types of film?
It's not particularly entertaining to a mainstream audience but if you are interested in war history it is an accurate depiction apart from one thing which I think is important/could have added to the screenplay. The demise of the German captain of the Graf Spree by suicide.
The British are actually shown treat well by their German captors and the Nazi angle of the Second World War is rarely shown.
This film has a poor reception but it has good production values which I admire.
