Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe character of Forster is referred in the film to as 'Obergruppenführer'. That means he is in the SS leadership (equivalent to a 3-star general in the army). This naturally explains why the army general on board cannot simply pull rank on him and why the majority of the crew is willing to obey his commands over those of the other officers. Most reviews erroneously describe him as either Gestapo (whose head would be at least one rank below that) or high (civilian) Nazi party official (who would not be referred to by rank).
- Quotes
Le commandant du sous-marin: Their papers are good, but their identities are false.
- Alternate versionsThere is some footage missing at about 45 minutes into the commonly available version of the film. After narrating how he can trust the radio operator, Guilbert retires to his room. But the subsequent dissolves show brief remains of shots that have been cut from the film.
Featured review
(1947) Les Maudits/ The Damned
(In French with English subtitles)
WAR DRAMA
Co-written and directed by René Clément, with the setting takes place just during the end of the second World War, with a U-boat full of Nazi sympathizers, including French and Italian passengers planning to settle in South America for a possible industrialization to support Hitler's cause. All is well until one of the female passengers injures herself with a bad head concussion, forcing them to go undercover to kidnap a French doctor, who eventually takes over to narrate his incredible voyage. Sometimes slow, but still fascinating that has never been done before.
