Product Information
Collecting five classic English films, THE BRITISH WAR COLLECTION contains THE CRUEL SEA, THE SHIP THAT DIED OF SHAME, WENT THE DAY WELL, THE DAM BUSTERS and THE COLDITZ STORY. THE CRUEL SEA: An excellent documentary style film about a British ship in the North Atlantic during World War II. The hardships, loneliness and dangers of the sea are faithfully recreated. Academy Award Nominations: Best Screenplay.THE SHIP THAT DIED OF SHAME: An allegory of moral decline, THE SHIP THAT DIED OF SHAME also functions as an exploration of the difficulties veterans encountered after World War II. George (Sir Richard Attenborough) convinces two of his old navy buddies to join together and buy the ship they served on during the war. They do so, and begin to use the ship for illicit smuggling operations to make money. But when the crew decides to start use the ship for more immoral activities, the boat breaks down with alarming frequency. The men on board find themselves in a stand-off over what's being done and the condition of the ship, leading to mayhem and murder. WENT THE DAY WELL: Made in 1942, when the possibility of a German land invasion of Britain seemed all too real to the citizens of England, WENT THE DAY WELL? was originally intended as a propaganda film. Being superbly made, however, it has managed to maintain its power in the interceding years. A group of soldiers arrives in a small British town with orders to be interred there for a period. The townspeople are happy to have them, until they discover that the soldiers are in fact German spies. With no help in sight, the people find that they will have to fight back against the Germans by themselves. WENT THE DAY WELL? transcended its wartime propaganda purposes to become a classic of British film. THE DAM BUSTERS: An exciting World War II adventure which centers around the British efforts to destroy two enormous dams in Germany. The film accurately depicts the entire mission from the production of the powerful weapons necessary to destroy the dams to the bombing itself. Academy Award Nominations: Best Special Effects.THE COLDITZ STORY: A true account of the experiences of the World War II prisoners of war who had the misfortune to be imprisoned in Germany's ultimate fortress - Colditz Castle. A daring escape saga.Product Identifiers
