Other than Inglourious Basterds, this
is the only WWII movie I can think of that hit a point where I
thought, “this doesn’t seem plausible.” And while I could get
behind Tarantino’s artistic masterpiece, 49th Parallel is
pretty forgettable.
A Nazi U-boat is sunk in Hudson Bay and
six surviving Germans flee through Canada, wreaking havoc along the
way. An Internet search after viewing quickly confirmed that,
obviously, this never happened, and that the film was made as a
propaganda piece to help encourage the still neutral United State to
enter the war.
A small part early on by Laurence
Olivier is worthwhile and the movie is fairly entertaining overall,
but one of those I probably won’t recall the plot of down the road.
46 to go…
