Classic storyline exceeding all my hopes with Peter O'Toole as a Man not to be toyed with under any circumstances. O'Toole's U-Boat and all his men are attacked mercilessly by their deadly enemy, he is the only survivor, with healing from his caring doctor he endeavors to strike back at his enemy by rebuilding an old submerged war plane to "make things right", he has plenty to do, as do the civilians on the island where he was healed. But his aim is a higher authority, a bullseye he must not miss. He uses any method necessary to attain his desire which he may or may not achieve. The use of revenge is not a new technique but this is a fresh revisit of the old standards of movie-making and the morals that was felt at the time. This movie has high production values and gives the audience plenty to rally around. Peter O'Toole has always been and still commands respect from his fellow actors and the people who watch him. 8 of 10*.
