Movie Reviews of Sailor of the King
Movie Review: A Classic B&W gem from the 50's
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd always enjoyed this movie on TV and was glad to be able to add it to my DVD collection. Not having seen it in a while there were scenes I did not remember, particularly at the beginning. I suspect TV stations tended to snip the early scenes to add commercial time since the film-maker took the time to insert something a lot of modern movies don't bother with: Plot Development. The original 'British' ending probably makes the film more dramatic but I prefer the happier 'American' ending; It makes the movie more re-watchable.
The transfer is clean and sharp but be advised that despite what it says on the box, this movie is (and always was) in black and white.
Movie Review: Unexpected Pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this movie based on the description listed on Amazon, not knowing anything about the movie. I was very surprised to see a consistently well acted movie throughout. There were terrific acting performances all around. Even if you don't care for war movies, you could still appreciate and enjoy this film--my wife did! It is quite simply a well made, well acted movie. The only thing I wish was different was that I wished the black and white could have been color. It is very much worth your time and money!!Movie Review: Excellent Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd been waiting for years for this film to be released on DVD.
This is a great story about man captured by the germans after his ship was sunk by them.
He manages to escape the germans after they have to pull into what amounts to a fiord
and manages to delay the repairs being done on the ship long enough to allow the british
fleet to arrive.
I don't want to give a lot of detail, just make it seem worth looking into.
If your a fan of WW II films this is a great one.
Movie Review: Classic War Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It had been many years since I first saw Sailor of the King, and watching it again brought back many scenes I had forgotten. The romantic parts at the beginning were very mature considering the year the movie was made. The action was better than I remembered too. Even my wife who is not a war movie affectionado liked it. Seeing an alternate ending from a move made in the early 1950's was a pleasant surprise.Movie Review: Sailor of the King
Summary: 5 Stars
The film covers a time period of two wars, the World War I romance of two people, who remain unmarried and go their separate ways, (played by Rennie and Hiller) and their son, played by Hunter, a signalman in the World War II British Navy. The story is intriging and captivating. Even though the script is not one of the finer war story scripts, the film is worth seeing, especially for Jeffrey Hunter fans.
