ABOVE US THE WAVES DVD
Set during the Second World War, Above Us The Waves [1955] tells the dramatic tale of British attempts to sink a German warship, the "Tirpitz", using midget submarines. This 1950s film stars John Mills, John Gregson and Donald Sinden.
Directed by Ralph Thomas, Above Us the Waves (1955) tells of a Royal Navy mission to sink the "invincible" German battleship Tirpitz, off the Norwegian coast. John Mills is calm and confident as the mission commander, with strong support from John Gregson and Donald Sinden--all treated by the German personnel as fellow gentlemen when captured. Despite stirring music from Arthur Benjamin, the action sequences are visually no more than adequate, and the film is only a partial success.--Richard Whitehouse
