Dana Wynter was a beautiful woman.
And Prince of Wales was later sunk by the Japanese off Singapore. Along with HMS Repiulse.

I watched it not long ago. A modern film showing the Swordfish attacking would be great to see on film. Also the Hood blowing up. I still like the original though. And yes, Dana Wynter was hot.

It was really a useless battle. Had Bismarck made it to France, there would have been endless bombing attacks and either badly damaged (like Gneisenau was in Germany) or made it back to Germany with the channel dash and then travel to Norway like Tirpitz where it was a target to the end of the war limited is usefulness due to damage and lack of fuel.

With big booming noises in the background. Best war movie special effects ever, but it does require imagination instead of CGI.

I remember watching Sink the Bismark when I was a youngster. I always liked that movie.
To: Rummyfan
but to modern eyes it looks like a relic from the days of model boats filmed in swimming pools. Yeah, well, Das Boot was made that way. Still a Gold Standard of the genre. CGI is no substitute for good production.

There's this funny paragraph in Steyn's article...
In Gilbert's film Shepard dictates an order requesting WRNS Second Officer Anne Davis' (Dana Wynter) presence for dinner, but when they emerge from the Admiralty building they discover it's morning, and as the final credits roll the two head off through Trafalgar Square to breakfast. Nudge nudge wink wink.
