Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Charles Frend's The Cruel Sea (1953), starring Jack Hawkins, Donald Sinden, John Stratton, Denholm Elliott, and John Warner. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on April 22.
Description: One of the greatest British war films ever made, The Cruel Sea is an unflinching portrayal of life at sea during WWII, on a boat tasked with protecting convoys and seeking and destroying German U-boats. Filmed aboard an actual Royal Navy corvette, it tells the story of the sailors aboard the HMS Compass Rose: the bonds that form between them, the daily pressures they face, and their epic struggle to overcome the enemy. Based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Monsarrat, and featuring heroic performances from Jack Hawkins (When Eight Bells Toll) , Sir Donald Sinden (Mogambo), Denholm Elliott (The Holly & The Ivy), Virginia McKenna (Born Free) and Stanley Baker (Robbery), The Cruel Sea is an enduring war movie classic.
