Trivia:
The caption before the end credits, detailing the fact that the Royal Navy captured the first Enigma machine, was only added after an outcry in Britain, where it was believed that Hollywood was trying to claim the credit for the Americans (whose forces captured no German Naval Enigma material until 1944).

This movie reminded me of the first "Star Wars" because, although technically excellent, its emotional manipulations and subliminal messages promote an abhorrent, feeble-minded "patriotism" in which "our" side is noble, brave and clever while the "bad guys" are less than human. The scene where Harvey Keitel's character tells a sailor that he must blindly follow his commanding officer because of his rank is just one example. The heavy-handed use of musical cues to steer our emotions slips frequently into self-parody.
