 Rating:  - A War Movie ClassicThe Cruel Sea is truly one of the great classic war movies, ever made. The cast of excellent British actors, really bring this film to life. This is a must see movie. The relationship between Captain Ericson (Jack Hawkins) and his 1st Lieutenant (Donald Sinden) becomes one of almost a father-son relationship. No computer enhancement, her - just a great movie.

One of the best aspects of ... Read More: Rating:  - The Cruel SeaThe Cruel Sea, is one of the best sea/war stories that I have ever read. I was interested to see how well the movie followed the book. Naturally, the film had to condense the book, but it did follow the sequences of the story faithfully. Rating: - A good companion to this bookWritten by someone who experienced WWII in convoy escort duty, The Cruel Sea is quite realistic in a double sense: You get the drama of the war as well as the times when war is dull or frustrating, for example when an officer dumps paperwork onto subordinates. Realistic without being cynical is a good combination. And if you'd like to read another book on this theme but with more of the immediacy of the war, try C. S.
