In the spring of 1941, RN Capt. Jonathan Shepard (Kenneth More) spearheaded the hunt in the North Atlantic for the very emblem of German naval power, the mighty battleship Bismarck. The daring mission, from the costly first engagement in the Straits of Denmark to the enemy juggernaut's crippling and destruction, receives a gripping and meticulous recounting in Lewis Gilbert's adaptation of C.S. Forester's novel. Carl Mohner, Dana Wynter, Michael Hordern, Laurence Naismith also star. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English, Region Free
