Details

• Release Year: 1943
• Genre: War
• Plot: 'HEROIC. ONE OF THE MOST ROUSING PROPAGANDA FILMS OF THE 1940'S' - Clive Hirschhorn, THE WARNER BROS. STORY; ; Service in the Merchant Marine means saying goodbye, keep the home fires burning. It is loose lips sink ships, a convoy tiptoeing through a dead-thick fog. It is the ear-splitting clatter of ack-acks and cries of aircraft sighted, all hands. It is fear, bravery and just doing a job. It is the lifeblood of democracy's arsenal.; ; This World War II salute to Allied forces that supply the war effort sweeps you into the action-filled voyage of a besieged freighter. Humphrey Bogart, a World War I seaman and an avid recreational sailor, stars as First Officer Joe Rossi, who along with his captian (Raymond Massey), matches tactics with U-boats and the Luftwaffe. The tactics are on target - so much that this became a Merchant Marine training film.
