The Ship That Died of Shame (aka PT Raiders)

With World War II's end, ex-RN George (Richard Attenborough) convinced former crew mates Bill (George Baker) and Birdie (Bill Owen) to go in on buying and refitting their former gunboat for cargo runs across the channel. However, an ever-greedier George becomes less discriminating about the contraband he takes on-and his partners' skittishness is uncannily mirrored by their increasingly balky craft. Effective take on the Nicholas Monsarrat short story also stars Virginia McKenna, Bernard Lee, Roland Culver. 95 min. Standard and Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); bonus short "Now You're Talking" (1940); featurettes; image gallery.
