Time Out says

The story of a destroyer, its crew, and their flashback memories of the folks back home from a raft after being dive-bombed during the Battle of Crete. Staged with what passed at the time for honest understatement, it now looks impossibly patronising, the epitome of stiff upper lip as Coward's captain graciously condescends to his forelock- touching crew like an indulgent auntie. Interesting chiefly as a reminder of the structures of snobbery and privilege in the services which were largely responsible for Labour's postwar election victory.

  • The reviewer's personal agenda is clearly showing in this condescending and patronising review. It is a mistake to judge historical footage with today's values.

  • Your film reviewer self-evidently knows nothing of life in the Royal Navy during WW2.
