the battle of the river plate ( 1956 ) be powell and pressburger most underrated movie . set in 1939 and it about the british navy try to capture the graf spee pursue by the hm ajax and hm exeter and hm achilles . most people say it be not up to the standard a and say and a matter of life and death and but i disagree . a it be not one of the more wider know part of world war two and it make the first half tense and exciting . but it the second half and when the graf spee hide in a neutral port where it kick into high gear . the whole place reek of atmosphere and unequalled in any over powell and pressburger film . a i have say before and a very underrated movie and that be well worth watch .
