In World War II, a Royal Air Force bomber is forced to crash-land in the North Sea. Among the surviving crew is Commodore Waltby (Michael Redgrave), who is transporting highly classified information on the new, secret German V-2 rockets. An air-sea rescue ship commanded by Officer Treherne (Bonar Colleano) is ordered to rescue the flyers. Treherne battles rough seas and engine failure in a race against time to save the freezing airmen as their dinghy drifts toward the occupied Netherlands.

If The Sea Shall Not Have Them is short on action, it’s long on acting talent, stiff upper lips, servicemen banter.

Rated: 6/10
