The Battle of the River Plate (1956)
Country: GB
Technical: col/Vistavision 119m
Director: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
Cast: John Gregson, Anthony Quayle, Peter Finch
Synopsis:
The German battleship, Graf Spee, is engaged by three British cruisers off the coast of Uruguay in the early months of WW2.
Review:
Handsomely decked out in colour for a war film of its time, the Archers' handling of the battle is a compromised affair of bathtub shipping, if anything made worse by the Vistavision. There remains some signal post-war British talent for the below-decks dramatics.
