Sink The Bismarck / The Enemy Below DVD
Sink The Bismarck:
The story of one of World War II's most famous sea battles is brought to the screen in this exciting, semi-documentary style movie. In the Spring of 1941, Nazi Germany's greatest battleship - the Bismarck, scourge of Atlantic shipping - is pinned down at her anchorage in Norway. Making a break for freedom and the safety of air cover from the Luftwaffe, the great ship is chased by the Royal Navy. Eventually, after heavy casualties, including the loss of H.M.S. Hood, the Bismarck is finally trapped and sunk. Kenneth More stars as Capt. Shepherd - the Admiralty's Director of Naval Operations - who, embittered by the death of his wife in an air raid, is assigned to this post just as the Bismarck makes its escape. Excellent special effects make this tense, exciting sea drama one of the finest British war films ever made.
Enemy Below:
Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens star in this gripping World War II drama about an American destroyer and a German U-boat stalking each other at sea. As both men try to out-think and out-manouevre each other, the chase becomes a deadly chess game in which any mistake can bring instant defeat and death. Powell let the public decide the ending for The Enemy Below. He filmed the movie with two endings, then let a preview audience vote for the ending they liked best. The ending he used won by unanimous vote.
