Movie Reviews of The Cruel Sea
Movie Review: The Cruel Sea
Summary: 5 Stars
With a literate, nuanced script by the gifted Eric Ambler, this taut, tight little war film is distinguished by the stunning work of Hawkins as world-(and war-) weary Ericson, patiently but firmly coalescing an inexperienced, fractionated group of young men into a proficient crew. Hawkins is buoyed by solid support from Baker (thoroughly detestable here), and fine work by actors Sinden and Stratton. Also look for Denholm Elliott, Alec McCowen and a lovely Virginia McKenna in smaller roles.Movie Review: The Cruel Sea
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion the best naval film about WWII ever made. Leave it to the English to get it right, this is definately not a Hollywood movie. You'll notice several actors who went on to star in other big films at a later date. Jack Hawkins, for example, was a leading figure in Laurance of Arabia. This film shows what it was really like serving aboard one fo the English Corvettes (destroyer) escorting convoys and dealing with the German U-boats.Movie Review: Brilliantly Acted account of life at sea during war
Summary: 5 Stars
One of two brilliant wartime naval films, the other being "In Which We Serve" starring Noel Coward. Jack Hawkins gives one of his finest performances as the Captain of the Compass Rose, a merchant seaman who finds himself captaining a ship with a crew with little or no naval experience, having to battle not only German U-Boats, but the sea itself. Fine performances also by Donald Sinden and the late Denholm Elliott. Terrific film.Movie Review: A War Movie Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The Cruel Sea is truly one of the great classic war movies, ever made. The cast of excellent British actors, really bring this film to life. This is a must see movie. The relationship between Captain Ericson (Jack Hawkins) and his 1st Lieutenant (Donald Sinden) becomes one of almost a father-son relationship. No computer enhancement, her - just a great movie. They don't make them like this, anymore.WorldMovie Review: OUTSTANDING WW2 NAVAL MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a review of the movie only but past experience with Anchor Bay tells me the quality will be pretty good. This movie tells the story of the officers and men of the HMS Compass Rose during WW2 as they escort convoys in the Atlantic. (in nautical terms the "compass rose" is the face of the compass dial aboard a naval ship) VERY realistic and a very good war movie. This is a true classic!!
