Die Seewölfe kommen (1980)
54KDie Seewölfe kommen: Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen. With Gregory Peck, Roger Moore, David Niven, Trevor Howard. During World War II, the British must attack a German ship, but it’s safe in neutral Goa. As a result, they send civilians: former soldiers who are about sixty years old.
“A neutral Portugese port in India has three German cargo ships in it. One of them is believed to contain a hidden short wave radio that is transmitting the locations of British war ships to U-Boats, costing the British Navy dearly in the Indian Ocean. Because the port is neutral, Allied forces are not allowed to enter and destroy the radio. A plan is finally devised to use aged retired members of the, no longer in use, Calcutta Light Horse, who are now enjoying the joys of civilian life. But, is there really a radio in the harbor? If so, which ship is it on? This is quite an entertaining film, especially for those who enjoy (and remember) Gregory Peck, David Niven, Trevor Howard, and many many more British actors.”
