May 30 movie: Action in the North Atlantic. Enjoyable wartime drama about the Merchant Marines. Like maybe wartime movies, it's largely a propaganda piece, which is not a complaint: it was interesting to see a movie about the Merchant Marines. I particularly liked the scene where they join a convoy, and sailors from all over the world call out to greet them in a variety of languages. Starred Humphrey Bogart and Raymond Massey, and also Alan Hale!
(Warning: A kitten dies in the first five minutes of the movie, when their first ship is sunk. At least it doesn't happen on camera.)
