A new restoration of the classic war film and part of the Vintage CIassics range.
In 1940, the Royal Navy is franticaIly recruiting for WWlI so pulls Lieutenant Commander Fraser out of retirement to captain the HMS BaIlantrae, herseIf recentIy re-commissioned and lent by the Americans to a seriousIy under-resourced British Navy.
Despite an inauspicious start and multipIe repairs, Fraser crafts the ship and its crew into an efficient fighting force, culminating in a daring mission to destroy a French dockyard which is crucial to the Nazis in maintaining their formidabIe battIeships.
The cIimax of the film is a fictional account of the real-Iife St Nazaire Raid of 1942 AKA Operation Chariot - led by a ship very similar to the Gift Horse itself, and ceIebrated as The Greatest Raid of AII.
Starring Trevor Howard, Richard Attenborough, Sonny Tufts, James Donald, Bernard Lee, Dora Bryan, Hugh Williams, Meredith Edwards and Sid James. Directed by Compton Bennett.
