Action in the North Atlantic (1943)

Fairly good wartime drama

It's a fairly good wartime drama starring Humphrey Bogart as the first mate of a merchant ship which brave the U-boat infested North Atlantic.

The effects are OK for the time, it is quite dramatic, the cast are very good indeed. The story is quite interesting. Without adding spoilers the merchant ship manages to probably do more damage to the German armed forces than is really probable.

The film was made in 1943 so it contains a lot of wartime propaganda messages, which obviously have made it seem dated now, but it's quite a good picture.
