The
Bismarck was the fabled German battleship of World War II. This film traces the "life" of the
Bismarck from its launching (courtesy of newsreel footage) through its many battles and narrow escapes, concluding with its far-from-inevitable sinking in the Spring of 1941. Since one couldn't expect a ship to carry a 97-minute movie, the story concentrates on the human element, specifically a British intelligence captain (
Kenneth More), who has lost his family in the London blitz and thus has a personal reason for seeing the
Bismarck blasted from the sea. The captain's tireless efforts are abetted by the love and support of a female naval officer
Dana Wynter. The climactic sinking is deftly assembled from stock footage and newly shot scenes of expertly delineated scale models. As a bonus,
Sink the Bismarck yielded a hit song, which many children of the 1960s can still recite from memory.
