The film was produced by Michael Balcon for Ealing Studios and directed by Charles Frend. PlotThe film is a reconstruction of the story of the salvage of the British tanker, MV San Demetrio. Carrying a cargo of oil home from Galveston, Texas, she was abandoned by her crew after having been set on fire by shells from the German cruiser Admiral Scheer. Of the three lifeboats which escaped the damaged tanker, two were picked up by other ships. After drifting for three days, the occupants of the third, who included the chief engineer and the second officer, reboarded the burning San Demetrio, extinguished the fires, and, having managed to restart the engines, returned to Britain, sailing into the Clyde ten days later.[1] Cast{{div col}}
ProductionAlthough Charles Frend is given sole credit as director, the film was completed by Robert Hamer after Frend became ill.[1] The San Demetrios chief engineer, Charles Pollard, was employed as a special adviser.[2] ReceptionAccording to trade papers, the film was a success at the British box office in 1944.[3] The Monthly Film Bulletin said that "In places the music is a trifle too strident; some of the model shots are less successful than others, but on the whole justice has been done to a great theme.[4] The model used in the film is on display at the Imperial War Museum in London.
