  1. My DAD made me watch this film when I was a kid, I remember not wanting to watch it as it was black and white I thought it would be boring, my dad said that the film was band/limited release at the cinemas until WW2 had finished , because they thought that there would be uproar from the civilian families at the time . After much protest I watched it I was 8 or 9 and cried like my cat had died lol .

  14. I've watched this film almost every year around Christmas time since I was 4 years old.
    It's a real christmas classic in my book. Right up there with Its a wonderful life and miracle on 34th street.
    ?????

  16. this is one of my all time favorite black and white movie i have seen since i was a kid i shared this movie with my son and this is a movie i watch every yr around this time in honor of the sullivans brothers

  18. My God the "all five" scene, the passing the water tower and the salute, the five brothers waving goodbye, wow. For a film made only two years after the Juneau sinking this was remarkably well made and hits you in the feels.

  19. I was referred to this movie today, as I am reading the autobiography of only one of 3 officers rescued from the great Battleship KMS Bismarck, Baron Burkard Von Mullenheim-Rechberg. His book, Battleship Bismarck, is THE book to read about the Bismarck as he describes vividly what it was like to await his doom in a literally rudderless Bismarck. He spent the remainder of the war as a PoW, and while in Canada as a PoW he would be allowed to watch German and American movies twice per week; he vividly recalls watching this particular movie and how he was deeply affected by it, which of course led me to search for the film immediately. By this time he had been a PoW for 4 years and hadn’t seen his precious ocean in a long time. He had been 10 years old when the Nazis came to power and grew up in their militarized boyscout program, the Jugend. By 1944 he had fully re-evaluated his life and became a democracy advocate and capitalist, later he would become the West German ambassador to several countries including Canada.
    It’s fascinating to read his book and see another true story (this film) that he felt deep kinship towards.
    War is truly a horrible thing, and it’s the young who are sent off to fight an old man’s war.
    This is now on my list of movies to watch just as soon as I finish the book!

  20. I'm 70 and remember well my younger sister & I watching this on our old black & white. Both of us in tears at the end. This Movie shows all 5 dying on the ship, one of them (memory fails on which one) survived the sinking. He was killed by sharks, as were a great many of his shipmates. So many, that the Navy began studying sharks.

  23. Cant belive it on here my grandad had this movie, I watched it alot grown up I'm only 35 now lost my grandad a year agoei really wanted to see this again reminds me of him so much thank you to who ever put it up, . ❤️❤️
