Customer Reviews of Battle of the River Plate [Region 2]
A movie worth watching! Definitely a good movie, Battle of the River Plate, brings to the screen the story of the German pocket battleship Graf Spee and its encounter with the HMS Exeter, the HMS Achilles, and the HMS Ajax, off the coast of Uruguay in South America. <
>The setting is 1939. German and British naval forces are fighting it out across the world, and for the British finding the Graf Spee could make all the difference between survival and capitulation. <
>All the actors carry out their performances very well. <
>The only major setback is that Battle of the River Plate is a 1957 film and compared to modern films, or even epics of the time such as Guns of Navarone and other war movies, falls short of being a masterpiece. <
>Nevertheless, the film combines drama, action, and adventure, making it highly enjoyable. <
>The setting, the music and the costumes are all wonderful, though the dialogues could have been better. <
>History, Intrigue, Duty, and Honor, are all about. <
>Battle of the River Plate is a movie worth watching, especially for those with a soft spot for History! <

One of the Best
This is one of the best World War II films ever made. Based on a real episode of the naval war in the Atlantic, it is an entirely accurate account of the battle between the German Battle Cruiser Graf Spee and her British pursuers. Filled with exciting naval action the movie uses actual film (not models) of the engagement. A first rate cast (including Anthony Quayle, John Gregson and Peter Finch) gives excellent performances all around.
Nice angled shots of Navy ships, not much else.
The movie makes up for its short comings for the great atmosphere and fantastic shots of warships. It has a good cast but they arent developed and are sanatized. Great for a military buff though.
