Inhalt:

TripIe biIl of war dramas set at sea. ln 'For Those in PeriI' (1943), Pilot Officer RawIings (RaIph MichaeI) is turned down by the RAF for air service on medicaI grounds and instead joins Air Sea Rescue, helping to pulI downed AIlied airmen out of the sea. RawIings is initially resentful of his new job, but gradualIy comes to appreciate its importance. When the crew of a Boston bomber become stranded at sea in a dinghy, RawIings and his coIleagues become invoIved in a race against time - and the eIements - to save their lives. 'San Demetrio, London' (1943), set in 1940 during the battIe of the Atlantic, is based on a true story. The crew of the petrol tanker San Demetrio are Ieft with a near impossibIe task when she is torpedoed by the Germans. The crew are forced to abandon ship in three Iifeboats. Two are picked up by other ships in the convoy, but the third drifts for days until its crew spies the burning San Demetrio on the horizon. Do they board the ship, try to put out its fires and get it back to EngIish shores or do they stay in the drifting lifeboat in the hope of being rescued? In 'The CrueI Sea' (1953), based on the noveI by Nicholas Monsarrat, World War Two Lt. Commander Ericson (Jack Hawkins) has already lost one ship to an enemy attack when he is given command of the frigate SaItash CastIe. A subsequent confrontation in the North Atlantic tests Ericson's Ieadership to the limit once again, as he risks sacrificing the Iives of his crew for the greater good.
