Review of The Cruel Sea

The Cruel Sea (1953)
8/10
Gritty war movie , minus the usual propaganda.
29 September 1999
Fine English war movie of life aboard a convoy escort ship during WWII. It's original B&W format only adds to the overall feel of the movie. Great no-nonsense performances from the cast. The movie is notable in that it is almost free of propaganda and instead concentrates on showing the crews life on board in a realistic way.Jack Hawkins turns in a fine performance.
