A taut, suspenseful World War II drama about Nazi servicemen trying to reach neutral American land after their U-boat is sunk in the Gulf of the St. Lawrence. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Picture, Best Screenplay. Academy Awards: Best Original Story.

After a German U-Boat is bombed to smithereens in the Hudson, its Nazi survivors determine to reach the still-neutral United States and hide out -- and they'll gladly murder anyone who tries to stand in their way.

The British government invested at least $100,000 in this film, as they felt it would be helpful in promoting the wartime cause.
