Storyline
Paul Devereaux is a second officer with lots of experience with merchant ships. But this is World War II and the Royal Canadian Navy desperately needs experienced officers. Paul is thus given command of his own ship. However, in early 1940's, Canadian Navy does not have the biggest budget nor the most qualified enlisted men. Paul's ship must escort merchant ship to Europe and back and take part in the longest naval battle in history. Written by Steve Richer <sricher@sympatico.ca>

Hollywood has released few films concerning Canada's effort in fighting in world war two. This film,Lifeline to victory,will give the viewer,Canada's role,in world war two. A good cast of Canadian actors. This film was released,for the rental market,video stores,in 1995. I managed to purchase a copy of this film,used,at the video store. Some of my American friends,visiting me here in Toronto,enjoyed watching this film. Rarely broadcast on television,if you can rent this at the video,do so. A good film for Canadians,who pride themselves as Canadian citizens. This film received good reviews when it was shown on television. If you find a used copy for sale in the video shops,purchase it.
