Triple bill of war dramas set at sea. In 'For Those in Peril'
(1943), Pilot Officer Rawlings (Ralph Michael) is turned down by
the RAF for air service on medical grounds and instead joins Air
Sea Rescue, helping to pull downed Allied airmen out of the sea.
Rawlings is initially resentful of his new job, but gradually comes
to appreciate its importance. When the crew of a Boston bomber
become stranded at sea in a dinghy, Rawlings and his colleagues
become involved in a race against time - and the elements - to save
their lives. 'San Demetrio, London' (1943), set in 1940 during the
battle of the Atlantic, is based on a true story. The crew of the
petrol tanker San Demetrio are left with a near impossible task
when she is torpedoed by the Germans. The crew are forced to
abandon ship in three lifeboats. Two are picked up by other ships
in the convoy, but the third drifts for days until its crew spies
the burning San Demetrio on the horizon. Do they board the ship,
try to put out its fires and get it back to English shores or do
they stay in the drifting lifeboat in the hope of being rescued? In
'The Cruel Sea' (1953), based on the novel by Nicholas Monsarrat,
World War Two Lt. Commander Ericson (Jack Hawkins) has already lost
one ship to an enemy attack when he is given command of the frigate
Saltash Castle. A subsequent confrontation in the North Atlantic
tests Ericson's leadership to the limit once again, as he risks
sacrificing the lives of his crew for the greater good.
