ACTION THE NORTH ATLANTIC

Film greats Humphrey Bogart and Raymond Massey star in this cinematic salute to the Merchant Marine and Navy gun crews who did battle with enemy submarines as they delivered supplies and munitions to allied troops during World War II. After their tanker is destroyed by a German sub, Captain Steve Jarvis (Massey). First Mate Joe Rossi (Bogart) and the surviving crew members vow revenge. Rescued at sea, the men are thrust back into shore life with their wives and families...only to be torn away again. As Rossi tells his new bride, "we can't sit around holdin' hands with all that goin' on. With renewed determination, the men set out with an international convoy on its way to the Russian port of Murmansk. A thrilling game of cat and mouse follows as Rossi is forced to take command and lead his merchant ship against an almost insurmountable Nazi attack. With "special effects photography expertly devised for realistic presentation" (Variety), the film stands as a tribute to the unsung sailors and true "life blood of the allied war effort.
