BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jimkidd Quite reasonable for its period as a B movie on a small budget. Interesting for sight of the young Lloyd Bridges (who hardly has a line in the whole film) and since it is now appearing on UK Channel 48, where it is likely to recur a few times, giving a chance to see a film rarely available - and certainly in better presentation than is suggested for the DVD in the previous review. One element which may entertain some connoisseurs of incidental detail is the presence of perhaps the poshest cabin boy ever to have gone to sea, presumably straight from an elocution class. Passes an hour pleasantly as a period piece.

Leofwine_draca Atlantic Convoy is a short wartime thriller that follows the fortunes of a group of American sailors based in Iceland and battling the Nazi surge. Their job is to patrol the Atlantic for German submarines, but given this film's low budget most of the action is limited to a single set with a few unconvincing model shots to show off the naval warfare scenes. Worse than the effects is the dullish script, which fails to ignite any kind of tension, and the actors subsequently go through the motions to boot. Watch out for Lloyd Bridges in an early role.

GManfred This was 68 minutes pretty well spent. Seldom do you get an inferior picture from Lew Landers, and on what seems like a 19 dollar budget. This one is about Nazis in the North Atlantic and a Navy plane squadron that tries to ride herd on them, if I might mix metaphors. But guess what? There is a traitor somewhere in their midst who is tipping off the U-boats (I'll bet you guessed). All concerned do a workmanlike job selling the thin plot, especially Base Commander Bruce Bennett. Virginia Field was appealing as the female in the picture and a young Lloyd Bridges is in attendance with little to do. The main character, however, is John Beal and he was bland as well as good.Apparently this film is hard to come by, as the DVD copy I bought was barely passable in spots - very dark. But I would say it was worth the trouble and money as the movie moved along without hitches or 'bog-down' interludes. Allow for some plot contrivances and don't ask too many questions, as it is only a 68 minute "B" at bargain prices.

gordonl56 I had only heard negative comments on this WW2 Columbia Studios programmer. Boy was i surprised how much i enjoyed it! Bruce Bennett headlines as the officer in charge of the naval and sea patrols based out of Iceland. Their job is to keep the Nazi U-boats at bay and escort the convoys taking vital war supplies to England. The Germans of course are less than amused and send several spies into the port. They are to steal a fishing boat and take it out to meet a U-boat. Once there, they will transfer enough explosives to make the boat a floating bomb. When the next convoy comes through they will ram the biggest ship blowing her to pieces and blocking the harbor entrance. Bennett along with John Beal, Larry Parks and a young Lloyd Bridges must take on the Germans in-order to foil their nasty plot. Do they get there in time to save the day? Of course! Quick paced wartime thriller directed by b-film vet Lew Landers who pumped out decent stuff during this era. Landers always got the most out of cast and crew. Loved all the great model work of ships and crashing airplanes. Fun waste of 65 min. (b/w)
