Half way through The Captain (der Hauptmann) on Amazon Prime. Set in Germany in the last weeks of the way and a study on a descent into madness. It is definitely a solo watching film when Mrs is out.
Pretty gritty stuff and not sure where it is going except badly wrong for all the players.

Sealed Cargo 1951
A Danish schooner is discovered in fog banks off the Canadian coast by Dana Andrews and his local fishing crew, alerted to hearing machine guns as unseen u-boats communicate. Heavily damaged it is towed back to port, unaware that the captain, Claude Raines, is concealing the stores and torpedoes to service the submarines and is in fact a nazi plot.
Filmed typically in a fashionable atmospheric ' film noir ', the shadows set the mood for a good eerie thriller.
Great to see it on TV as i saw it many years ago.
7 barrels of rum / 10 secret radios.
