“The Sea Wolves” is a war film based on the true story of a unit of the British-Indian Army during World War II on a mission to sink a German ship, stationed in neutral Portugal’s Goa territory, which was transmitting vital information about Allied shipping in the Indian Ocean to German U-boats. Tight direction by Andrew V. McLaglen (“Murder at the World Series” 1977) and a well-paced screenplay by Reginald Rose put together this exciting two hour motion picture that moved quickly.
Top-rate performances by some talented big screen veterans also added to the high quality of the project. This includes Gregory Peck, Roger Moore, David Niven, Trevor Howard, Patrick Macnee, Barbara Kellerman, Kenneth Griffith, Faith Brook, Allan Cuthbertson, and Jack Watson. Nevertheless, the very watchable film “The Sea Wolves” was not terribly successful in theatrical release for Lorimar Productions and Paramount Pictures.
