Variety Staff
The battle sequences, in which the lightweight British cruisers close in on the Graf Spee and force the enemy to take shelter in Montevideo harbor, are powerful, exciting and technically impressive. ( Read More )
Not Powell and Emerics greatest work, but still a cut above many 50s war movies. ( Read More )
Dennis Schwartz
... a rather routine chronicle of the capture of the feared German battleship the Graf Spee. ( Read More )
Geoff Andrew

The film is adroitly directed by Powell and Pressburger, though the concentration is on the vessels, rather than the men aboard them. ( Read More )
