Headlined by Humphrey Bogart and Raymond Massey, although this is as much about the rest of the crew of the merchant vessel as it is the officers, the film has great star power and electric performances all round. Due to it being made at war time, the film was actually totally produced on Warner Bros sound stages so it's a great credit to all that you'd never know.
Gripping from first to last and as authentic as can be, Action in the North Atlantic is a cracking black and white war film. | I will have to check this out .
