This is a Pinewood Studios delightfully old-fashioned war film based on true events. For those familiar with the Graf Spee story, it´s amazing to see how accurate this production is for a 1950´s film. A pleasure to see a cast with Peter Finch, Anthony Quayle, Bernard Lee, Patrick MacNee, Christopher Lee, etc.
Enjoy!

I fully agree - both as regards actors & accuracy.

Go see Matrimonio all'italiana on the big screen, where Sophia Loren's beauty, Naples' vistas, and Marcello Mastroianni's style render beautifully.

Mastroianni's wardrobe is a treat, as is his character's attachment to it: when pressed by Loren to recall the night when he would have fathered one of her children, all he could do to muster up a guess was ask, "Which suit was I wearing?"

Having recently seen "Le Bal des Vampires" musical, I was in the mood for revisiting the original film from 1967. My 12 y.o. son thought it boring. I think it´s delightful.
