Lifeline to Victory (1993)
lifeline to victory 1993 where is the DVD version release?
Saw this movie on television when it was released in 1993. I enjoyed the relationship between the captain, petty officer and crew in trying to establish themselves as a fighting unit. Unfortunately, they went through a testing time, with tensions flying, inadequate equipment that broke down, engine failure, nerves were on edge. How much more could the human body take?? When they pulled into Scotland for a refit, the commanding officer in charge was non-too-polite either, in getting the ship repaired. For the Canadian captain, it was another bout of bewilderment and disappointment. In the end, after overcoming all the obstacles, the ship was refitted with new radar/sonar, guns and engines. The captain and crew were now prepared to do the job they trained for. Michael Riley, Henry Czerny give great performances as Captain and Petty Officer trying to come to terms in commanding a ship and ill-trained crew. The H.M.C.S. Sackville was used in the making of this TV movie. Wonderful scenes of her. Overall, I enjoy watching this movie. Don't see too many movies on Canada's role in World War Two. Another movie to watch for is the 1943 Corvette K-225 starring Randolph Scott, which tells of Canada's corvette in World War Two.
