Convoy**       
(GB 1940)     
Ealing. 90m. bw

A British Navy destroyer has to serve in one more convoy, encountering a German pocket battleship.
Serviceable wartime drama, fairly subtle and unpretentious as morale-boosting propaganda (and an interesting precursor to In Which We Serve and Ealing's later post-war drama The Cruel Sea), with some interesting future faces of note, and a love triangle sub-plot that doesn't work emotionally, but this hardly matters.
