The Ship That Died Of Shame Blu-Ray

Based on a novella by Nicholas Monsarrat (author of The Cruel Sea) and directed by Basil Dearden (The Blue Lamp, The League Of Gentleman), The Ship That Died Of Shame is set in the grim aftermath of World War II. A crew of naval veterans, played by film legends Richard Attenborough, George Baker (The Dam Busters), and Bill Owen (Last Of The Summer Wine), are forced to smuggle black market goods across the English Channel to make ends meet. But it isn't long before wine and cigarettes are replaced by more lucrative cargo. A crisis of conscience looms on the horizon when one of the crewrefuses to turn a blind eye after discovering that the mysterious stranger they have been asked to smuggle into England is hiding a dark and terrifying secret.
