I agree with all other reviewers here, and found this film terrific when I saw it back in the 1950s - but then I am British! However, you may not know that this one was an almost see exact copy of a previous film made in the 1930s. That one, called for some strange reason 'Forever England', starred a very young John Mills as the sniper. The naval battle scenes were really good for that time, but the sniper died and was given great praise for his bravery by the German captain! You could enjoy both versions, if you can find a copy.
