Written by William Fairchild, Marshall Pugh adapted from the book and based on the true story of "Commander Crabb". Directed by William Fairchild. On Dec 19, 1941, Italian frogmen, using underwater mines, destroyed two British warships at Alexandria, Egypt. When it was learned that they were operating along the Spanish coast across from the British base at Gibraltar - putting British and later American shipping at risk - naval explosive and bomb expert Lionel "Buster" Crabb (Laurence Harvey) is brought in to create a team of divers to strive against the might and power of Fascist Italy. Made a year after Crabb was murdered by the Communists, this is a remarkable and unique film about a fascinating and obscure battlefield of the War. Essential viewing!
