The Sea Wolves (1980)

Big screen account of Operation Creek. Retired regiment the Calcutta Light Horse's covert attack against three German merchant ships, which had been transmitting information to U-boats from the harbour in the neutral Portugese territory of Goa.

An all star cast lead by Gregory Peck, Roger Moore, David Niven and Trevor Howard have a lot of fun in Andrew V McLaglen's war time adventure. Whilst it's not a patch on the directors other works at the time (The Wild Geese and North Sea Hijack), it's still a lively watch even if Moore does spend too much time smoothing up to Barbara Kellerman, leaving the action to Peck and his band of British co-stars who appear to have a whale of a time blowing shit up.

Well worth a watch.
