A Memorable Classic of WWII Naval Warfare
I first saw this movie shortly after it came out, and when I was 9 years old.
The movie captures the drama of pursuing and destroying the Bismarck. A British agent in German-occupied Norway spots the PRINCE EUGEN and BISMARCK passing by. But he is shot in his hut by a pursuing German before completing his message back to England.
The HOOD is blown up by the BISMARCK. One of the Naval staff men, realizing that he has just lost his son, is brought to tears, but otherwise maintains the British stiff upper lip. A woman on staff comforts him.
Then comes the dramatic final duel of the BISMARCK and British ships. The German commander yells "Fire!", while the British commander yells "Shoot!"
My father used this movie to teach me a lesson. My 9 year-old self cheered at the scene of drowning German sailors at the end of the movie. My father, a survivor of Gross Rosen and Dachau, told me not to do that.

OK
It's not a bad movie, but it's more talk than action. I think 60% of the movie is shot in one room. The action should have been more exciting, but I guess that was not possible at the time the movie was shot. The charecters are not really well developed and the Germans are potrayed as pompous fools. From what I have read about the Bismarck and it's crew, that is so not true. But having said that it is a treat watching battleships cut through water so majestically!

Memorable
Sink the Bismark was made shortly after the actual events took place. Considering the financial shortages the British film industry confronted in those days, Sink the Bismark constitutes a remarcable accomplishment. The actual account of how the great ship was sunk is both exiting and well portrayed using real war footage, and the sript is both well written and plausible, considering the times when the fim was shot. played by actors who are both well known and talented. A must see for World War film II buffs.

Sink the Bismarck
Very interesting history story. Explained a lot to me that was confusing about what had happened.
