Movie Reviews of Sailor of the King
Movie Review: A hidden gem among the Fox war classics!
Summary: 5 Stars
I caught this movie on American Movie Classics a few years ago and
hoped that one day it would be made available on DVD. Jeffrey
Hunter, a very underrated actor in one of his first starring roles,
is a Canadian sailor in England's Royal Navy. It is World War Two, and
his ship is hunting for a much-feared German battlecruiser. When his ship engages the cruiser in battle, the cruiser is damaged and his ship is sunk. He is taken prisoner aboard the German ship, and when the ship pulls into a remote island harbor for repairs, he escapes to the
island armed with a rifle and plenty of ammunition. He devises a plan
to shoot at the repair crews as they try to fix the ship, to delay
their departure. Doing that will give other Royal Navy ships time
to zero in on the cruiser's location and sink them.
A very good movie with a very satisfying ending...look for a pre-James
Bond Bernard Lee in a fine supporting role.
"Sailor of the King"...with a movie title like that, you can't go wrong.
Thanks, Fox!! Keep these greats coming!
