Sailor of the King
-- Escaping from captivity on a German raider when it anchors at a remote island for repairs, a Canadian sharpshooter (Jeffrey Hunter) wins the Victoria Cross by pinning down its crew with rifle fire until the British Navy arrives. C.S.

Wartime violence and discreet treatment of a premarital relationship. (A-II) (br)
