Movie Reviews of Sailor of the King

Movie Review: jbw3
Summary: 5 Stars

I have looked for this movie for years under several names but always starring Jeffery Hunter. I was about to assume it was a product of my imagination. Then, presto, it was available from Amazon and I purchased it by return mail. Now, I will look for Goodbye, My Lady and A Boy Ten Feet Tall (which I have on tape). Thanks...

Summary of Sailor of the King

Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 05/13/2008

Based on the WWI adventure novel Brown on Resolution by C.S. Forester, Sailor of the King is an enjoyable British-made war drama buoyed by its energetic star, Jeffrey Hunter, and an exciting and suspenseful premise. The picture opens on a slow note with British Navy captain Michael Rennie ending a tryst with English girl Wendy Hiller; years later, the product of that union is British-Canadian sailor Jeffrey Hunter, whose ship is dispatched to intercept a powerful German warship by now-Admiral Rennie. The ensuing fight sinks Hunter's ship and damages the German boat, but Hunter evades capture and hunkers down on the island where the Nazi captain (Peter Van Eyck) has docked for repairs; there he wages a one-man assault against the ship using only a rifle and his own skills. Roy Boulting's direction is crisp and assured, and the cast, especially the underappreciated Hunter (in his first leading role), is uniformly fine, which should make Sailor of the King a worthwhile discovery for WWII action fans. The DVD includes two endings--the original British release, which adds to the Rennie-Hiller relationship, and the pat American conclusion. -- Paul Gaita
