After the heroics of the Israeli Defence Forces being featured in last week’s Friday Night Movie, Victory At Entebbe, it’s time for some British heroics again. We Dive At Dawn is the story of the British World War II submarine, HMS Sea Tiger.

The crew of the Sea Tiger are enjoying some well earned leave after being out on patrol. However the crew’s leave is cut short by an urgent recall to their boat for a special mission. This film tells the tale of the special mission that the crew of the Sea Tiger were given. They have to to sink a major German battleship in the heavily defended Baltic Sea. Even though the target has gone into heavily defended waters, rather than give up the mission they decide to follow it.

This film is old fashioned British heroics at its best with the great John Mills in the role of the Captain of the Sea Tiger. This is a tension filled war film and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
