X-Boats Attack – The attack of British submarines on the German battleship Tirpitz in a Norwegian fjord during World War II. X-Boats Attack (1955) Director: Ralph Thomas Screenplay: Charles Esme Thornton Warren, James D. Benson, Robin Estridge Cast: John Mills, John Gregson, Donald Sinden Genre: Drama, War Country: United Kingdom Language: German Release Date: March 29, 1955 (London) Summary: During World War II, the German battleship Tirpitz is the greatest threat to the British Navy. Anchored in a Norwegian fjord, a successful attack seems impossible. However, the Navy trains a special task force to attack it: small submarines are to plant underwater explosives beneath the battleship. Reviews: Some viewers and critics may find the characters and dialogue artificial and reminiscent of British stiff-upper-lip propaganda. I can't imagine the film was intended as propaganda, given that it wasn't made until 1955! Secondly, people were different in the era depicted. Excessively emotional self-pity wasn't yet established as a prerequisite for drama or war portrayals. This film reminds me of A Night to Remember and is attacked by the same critics who can't understand that people were different back then and didn't flaunt their emotions or panic at every opportunity. Restrained and realistic—it's a breath of fresh air from films that consist solely of a string of explosions and rants. —written by russellalancampbell on IMDb.com Reference to *A Boy's Own Story*. It was indeed Donald Sinden, not John Gregson, who pushed the mine away. Otherwise, a good summary, like all the others. I hadn't seen this film for many years, and it brought back memories of a simpler time. The acting was good, and the British stiff upper lip was very evident. The Germans' behavior matched my own perceptions of the German navy. Many British films were being made at the time, both comedies and dramas, and the acting was good; moreover, there weren't any obvious scenes of gratuitous sex and violence. The film would certainly have been good in color, but there weren't many of those available back then. The German version was a classic. – written by sharomar1 on IMDb.com Also known as (AKA) (Original title) Above Us the Waves Australia Above Us the Waves Austria Submarine Belgium Operatie Tirpitz (Flemish) Belgium Opération Tirpitz (French) Brazil Sob as Ondas Canada Above Us the Waves (English) Denmark Havet over os Estonia Meie peakohal on lained Finland Operaatio Tirpitz France Opération Tirpitz Germany X-Boote greifen an Greece Vythisate to Tirpitz (transcribed title) Greece ВхиЯубфе фп ФЯсрйфт India Above Us the Waves (English) Ireland Above Us the Waves (English) Italy Above Us the Waves Japan (Japanese) Netherlands (Netherlands) Operatie Tirpitz New Zealand (New Zealand) Above Us the Waves (English) Norway (Norway) Operasjon Tirpitz Portugal (Portugal) Entrevista com a Morte Romania (Romania) Deasupra noastra valurile Romania (Romania) Operatiunea Tirpitz South Africa (English) Soviet Union (Russian) Spain (Spain) Operación Tirpitz Sweden (Sweden) Operation Tirpitz United Kingdom (United States) Above Us the Waves West Germany (West Germany) X-Boats attack Yugoslavia (Serbian, literally) Title) ······················································································· ✘ Website: https://www.artflix.info SUPPORT US! ✘ Become a member: https://bit.ly/3N7VBb6 MORE MOVIES! ► Film Noir: https://bit.ly/3yP7UR2 ► Classic films: https://bit.ly/2VhJRN2 ► All playlists: https://bit.ly/2AsmqTR #filmclassics #classics #films ······················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
