In Which We Serve

This engrossing tale about the sinking of British destroyer HMS Torrin during the Battle of Crete is based on the true-life story of the HMS Kelly, a destroyer under the command of Lord Louis Mountbatten that sank in the Mediterranean. Three survivors (Noel Coward, Bernard Miles and John Mills) on a raft recount their lives aboard the sunken vessel. The movie marks Coward's first and only time as a film director (David Lean co-directed).
