Western Approaches is a Technicolor 1944 docufiction film directed by Pat Jackson. It is the fictional account of 22 sailors adrift in a lifeboat. They are able to signal by Morse code their position. A nearby U-boat receives the signal along with a friendly vessel which changes course to go to their rescue. The captain of the U-Boat decides to wait in ambush with its two remaining torpedoes. Before the rescue ship arrives, the U-Boat's periscope is spotted by the lifeboat. The U-Boat fires its torpedoes just as the rescue vessel is alerted to the U-Boat's presence. Much of it was shot in the Irish Sea. Sailors rather than professional actors were used.[1] Trade papers reported that the film among those "doing well" at the British box office in 1945.[2] References1. ^The Times, 4.7.2011 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com.au/books?id=xtGIAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA209&lpg=PA209&dq=hungry+hill+film+box+office&source=bl&ots=MTsQXadYDw&sig=2h-5aG3Vy4tT_h1mlC4mfRi18JQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiZ8b6P1YHMAhVEFqYKHcy9BF8Q6AEIMzAF#v=onepage&q&f=false |title=Robert Murphy, ''Realism and Tinsel: Cinema and Society in Britain 1939-48'', p. 207 |publisher=Books.google.com.au |date= |accessdate=2019-01-15}} External links
