49th Parallel

by Michael Powell

A German U-boat is sunk in Hudson Bay. The survived nazi sailors attempt to evade capture by traveling across Canada to the still-neutral United States. An anti-nazi film, which avoids any stereotypes, recalls Hitchcock's dramas and counts several great English actors, as Anton Walbrook, Laurence Olivier, Leslie Howard.
