Roy Boulting's action drama stars Jeffrey Hunter as Canadian Andrew 'Canada' Brown, serving in the WW2 Royal Navy, who is taken prisoner by the German raider Essen which has sunk his ship. The Essen then puts in to a remote island for repairs. Brown manages to escape, taking with him a rifle and ammunition. From the island's cliffs, he snipes at the sailors working on repairs, delaying the ship's departures long enough for British forces to arrive and sink her. But at a very very personal cost... With Michael Rennie, Wendy Hiller and Bernard Lee. The film was shot with alternate endings, both of which will be shown.
