Trivia:
When shooting the scene early in the movie, when their characters abandoned ship from their burning tanker, Humphrey Bogart and Raymond Massey got into a friendly argument over who had the better stunt double. In the end, the two stars decided to do away with their stunt doubles altogether and wound up doing the stunt themselves.

I got to this movie more or less by chance and didn't know the background. However, this thing is rather gripping, suspenseful and emotional. It stars H. Bogart and R. Massey as the 2nd in command forced into the lead, when Massey as the skipper is heavily wounded in an air-attack on his Liberty freighter on the way to Murmansk. The ship is trailed by a German U-Boat, that is kept at distance during day light, but will certainly torpedo them at night and prevents them from rejoining their convoy, as they don't want to disclose it's course to the Germans. How they finally go thru alive and reach Murmansk offers many ways to show the heroics of the unlisted merchant sailors, who contributed in the same way as the Navy to the victory in war. All that is conveyed very well, sometimes to message-like, sometimes to much propaganda, but what you expect in 1943 ?. Some fun on the side : In the German (dubbed) version , all the Germans (esp. Pilots and Sub Marine Commanders) speak a (original, non dubbed) heavy chewing gum English, whereas the Americans speak perfect German. Such is the war (in the movies)
