 The Cruel Sea [1953] - Compare prices
This 1953 film has become a classic of British cinema largely because it is a straightforward, no-frills adaptation of the book and retain's much of the original's compelling yet almost understated dramatic focus.
As with the book, the individual officers and their lives are carefully delineated, helped by the strength of a cast of (then) young actors (notably Donald Sinden and Denholm Elliot).
Ultimately what makes The Cruel Sea such an undeniable classic is that it has neither the flag-waving jingoism nor the war-is-hell melodrama so common to most war movies: instead it relates in an almost matter-of-fact way the bitterness of the conflict at sea fought by ordinary men placed in the most extraordinary of circumstances.

 The Cruel Sea (1953)
The second major part, that of Lockhart, the second-in-command, went to Donald Sinden, who had not made a film before; The Cruel Sea made his name, as it did those of Denholm Elliott and Virginia McKenna, whose previous roles had been insignificant.
Bryan Forbes likes to tell the story that he was turned down for a part because he was not officer material - it is a good joke against Ealing, and Balcon somewhat self-consciously denied its truth.
The most traumatic scene in the film occurs after a submarine has caused havoc to the convoy and the ASDIC (sonar detector) reveals that it is beneath a group of British sailors who are struggling in the water, hoping to be rescued.

Made in 1953, The Cruel Sea stars Jack Hawkins as Ericson, a WWII sea captain whose ship is scuppered by a German submarine.
While The Cruel Sea hardly creates the most subtle of soundfields, the mono sonics are full and detailed.
As with The Cruel Sea, the film is presented in mono, but whilst that film can at least boast a modicum of power, The Dam Busters sounds thin and weedy.

 The Cruel Sea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Beginning with the bright and unexpected instrumental "Orleans Stomp" and throughout the remainder of The Honeymoon Is Over, The Cruel Sea blends its clear pop stylings with slick rhythms and borderline Country & Western textures.
Originally released in Australia in mid-1993 -- where The Cruel Sea have been likened to Nirvana, Perkins is a national sex symbol, and water spirals the wrong way down the sink -- The Honeymoon Is Over has already racked-up double platinum sales.
It's these songs that provide The Honeymoon Is Over with enough variety and novelty to make The Cruel Sea's transition from Down Under Heroes to American Successes a smooth one.

The hardships, loneliness and dangers of the sea are faithfully recreated.
Being too young to have experienced wartime Britain I had my first taste for this and many similar films from the all familiar Sunday afternoon Black and White War film which would invariably fill the gap between roast beef for lunch and cucumber sandwhiches for tea.
To get my hands on a copy of the cruel sea, was not for the sake of nostalgia on behalf of a war veteran or even a blitz survivour, it was the nostalgia of a pre pubescent lad trying to understand exactly what his grandfather was involved with during "the war".
