Amazon.com:
Based on the WWI adventure novel Brown on Resolution by C.S. Forester, Sailor of the King is an enjoyable British-made war drama buoyed by its energetic star, Jeffrey Hunter, and an exciting and suspenseful premise. The picture opens on a slow note with British Navy captain Michael Rennie ending a tryst with English girl Wendy Hiller; years later, the product of that union is British-Canadian sailor Jeffrey Hunter, whose ship is dispatched to intercept a powerful German warship by now-Admiral Rennie. The ensuing fight sinks Hunter's ship and damages the German boat, but Hunter evades capture and hunkers down on the island where the Nazi captain (Peter Van Eyck) has docked for repairs; there he wages a one-man assault against the ship using only a rifle and his own skills. Roy Boulting's direction is crisp and assured, and the cast, especially the underappreciated Hunter (in his first leading role), is uniformly fine, which should make Sailor of the King a worthwhile discovery for WWII action fans. The DVD includes two endings--the original British release, which adds to the Rennie-Hiller relationship, and the pat American conclusion. -- Paul Gaita

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - The skeleton is perfect, but it needs flesh This is the kind of war one man as the hero story that the little boy in each man relishes. One man holding up an entire evil axis ship by his wits and skill, what an escapist fantasy. The presentation is very dry, almost a documentary. The story screams for drama. His escape from the ship should have had at least a close call. The German Captain should have been very angry, and taking it personal. The hero could have been shown using craft to avoid detection when in the rocks. Possibly a crack German sniper gone ashore to hunt him, and their wary stalking of each other. The love story at the beginning, besides an atraction for the females in the audience, it is a waste of precious screen time. I would have liked to see that time spent on Brown's Canadien outdoors hunting and shooting growing-up background, setting him up for his abilities later. Also a segment showing the German raider doing some nefarious piracy against helpless transport ships, making all the more enjoyable when it is helpless. There is a germ of a great story here. + See Full Customer Review
