A British war film directed by Michael Powell, starring Lawrence Olivier, Raymond Massey and Anton Walbrook.
A German submarine sinks near Canada. Six of the Germans are stuck in Canada and trying to get back to Europe. They meet trappers, pilgrims, settlers and an author studying native Americans among others.
Really really boring. The plot did not even suggest that I might care what happens. The characters did not offer the option of caring what happened to them. In fact, they were down to 3 guys before I realized the others were not there anymore. Black and white 4:3 video doesn't float my boat, but there were a few scenes with good camera placement. This military command center shot from above looks great (image). The audio was very much of the time. Everyone announced their lines and there was not much non-diegetic music. I rate this bad for being so boring. I would seriously advise against watching this.
