 The Long Voyage Home (1940)
The unsung heroes of the Merchant Navy, and their efforts during World War II, are given an unsentimental and realistic treatment via four interlinked short stories.
Like prison inmates they are confined to a single environment and similarly harsh conditions; the only 'convict' with a chance for parole is Olsen while the rest are 'lifers', and they know it.
Perhaps the strongest point though, is that The Long Voyage Home refuses to romanticise the Merchant Navy.

 goatdog's movies - The Long Voyage Home, 1940
The episodic nature of the film, which likely reflects the episodic nature of life on a boat, lends itself to good sequences that are isolated from the rest of the film.
The Smitty episode is the best, but it is nearly matched by the extended sequence at the end when Ole Olsen, finally within sight of a trip home to his mother, is "escorted" by his shipmates on a final tour of the dockside bars before he departs for his ship.
It's played in a large part for comedy—the constant stream of "just one more drink for the road"—but there's a budding desperation that culminates with the jarring last shot of a newspaper floating in the muddy water as the ship pulls away from the dock.
