Lifeline to Victory - VHS transfert
This is a rare WW2 movie from 1993 about the crew of a Royal Canadian Navy Corvette and its North Atlantic convoy duty.
Transferted from VHS to DVD. Not the best quality but still watchable!
Synopsis From IMDB
www.imdb.com/title/tt0107414/
Paul Devereaux is a second officer with lots of experience with merchant ships. But this is World War II and the Royal Canadian Navy desperately needs experienced officers. Paul is thus given command of his own ship. However, in early 1940's, Canadian Navy does not have the biggest budget nor the most qualified enlisted men. Paul's ship must escort merchant ship to Europe and back and take part in the longest naval battle in history.

Просмотров 3716 лет назад
This is my stop motion assembly of the Lego Millenium Falcon UCS. The movie was created back in may but I was not able to put it online before today. Hope you enjoy this video. Voici la vidéo de l'assemblage en image par image du Faucon Millenium édition UCS de Lego. Le film a été réalisé en mai dernier mais je n'ai pas pu le mettre en ligne avant aujourd'hui. J'espère que vous apprécierai.
And now the world is turning upside down. Greed is poisoning our nation. And electing a failed businessman, rapist, criminal fraudster, who lead a coup and stole our national secrets to sell to our enemies for his personal gain. To those that voted for a dictatorship, voted 3rd party in protest or didn’t vote at all; you don’t know what you’ve done, I hope you aren’t ignorant enough to have voted for what is about to happen. Isn’t it peculiar that they want to do with public education? That way you don’t know any better.
Did they really send children in the convoys to Canada? I think that was too great a risk.
Yes. During the blitz against London and other English cities, children were sent to Canada, to live with relatives and foster parents. Most made it safely and avoided the bombs droped by the Luftwaffe.
as a Brit i pay homage to these brave Canadians of whatever service,Atlantic convoys,D day,god bless you lads
Dam good movie
great story, deserves high honour
is the music how sleep the brave?
thank you for this gem
Thank you Canada
Ruined by acting melodrama.Dreadful.
Why this movie was never available on DVD or Blu-Ray, nor available on any streaming service I will never understand. A great injustice as far as I’m concerned.
My late father wasin the merchant navy During WW11 convoys across the Atlantic...he never talked about the subs,danger except to mention the highlight of his days was devouring Goanese Indian fish curries with fish straight from the sea with his bare hands...as Goanese cooks/laundry workers became his comrades in arms...
Great movie. Definitely watch this one.
Great quality for VHS!!
Una gran película en recrear las duras condiciones que debieron afrontar los aliados contra la amenaza submarina durante la segunda guerra mundial. Tal como fue el caso de los canadienses en proteger los convoyes que tanto se necesitaban a la sitiada Inglaterra. Saludos y bendiciones a todos los cinéfilos de corazón desde Venezuela.
Respect.
An inspirational and well made film. Thank you for sharing it.
I hope the wooden gun never actually happened in reality! Sweet mother of Jesus we're not expecting the Canadian Navy to field a USS New Jersey, but a wooden gun was only a joke, right?
Actually it did happen. The mk IV breach gun in 1941-1942 was difficult to obtain as ot was manufactured in britain. So many corvettes crossed the Atlantic with only depth charges and were being fitted with the gun once in Britain.
Far too dark
Brilliant movie. I'm a retired chief engineer and have worked on British and Canadian merchant ships. I loved this movie because it speaks to all ranks who risked their lives and lost their lives. Just wished they had shown more of the engine room lads.,
I'm an ex Serviceman. PLEASE EVOLVE......
Not bad.....Not bad at all............Well worth watching, espcially if you've read "the Cruel Sea"!
filmed on the HM Sackville in Halifax !! its a museum ship
A really good movie. Better than the rubbish coming out of Hollywood.
If you want to see a good film about the Battle of the Atlantic, watch the adaptation of the Cruel Sea, that's a good film.
this is a very boring movie with bad acting
Loll! I never said it was a masterpiece. Its a movie about the Canadian involment in WW2 and this is realy rare.
While the NA fight was conduct by brave men in sometimes sketchy ships with minimal weapons, this film is so full of dramatic BS it ruins the story. Too bad.
Very good film.
Superb movie about the RCN escorting the wartime convoy ships from Canada during WWII, the cold weather, high seas and the continual threat of submarine attacks. These men took tremendous risks to get the supplies through to the UK. Many ships were lost both Naval and Merchant, we are truly indebted to these brave men, we will not forget their valour and courage to aid us in our hour of need. Thank you!
My Father served from 1939 to 1945 RCN and one of the ships he served on was HMCS TRILLIUM which was the only Corvette in the Canadian Navy to spend the entire War as an open Ocean Escort between Halifax NS and Londonderry Northern Ireland and boy did he have a lot of memories of his service time.
Good for a low budget film which has borrowed heavily from the outstanding book by Nicholas Monserrat 'The Cruel Sea'. I recommend both the book and the film by the same name. They were ordinary people just like you and me. They raised themselves to become true heroes, so can we. We have new enemies using new methods, many are already among us. Can you become a true hero?
I'll follow Martin ( a year later) to offer my gratitude as well Oli Pref. I was the lead in this film and it was a fabulous experience with an awesome cast and a superb director, Eric Till. 🙏
Lead as Micheal Riley, the very Paul Devereaux?? Wow! I never thought I would get the cast to comment on here! Funny thing, the man who restored and cleaned the original tape and made the transfert to dvd was an extra on the film.
I think it was your agent at the time or someone from the production who pointed me out to the vhs tape on ebay after I wrote several emails to learn more about the movie.
I've been searching for this movie for ages use to have it on VHS tape,many thanks for uploading this, could never remember the title all I could remember was it had victory in it,👍
Thank for posting this. It shows what it was like for my father who was in the RCN on these convoys. He is gone now. My husband is in the background in 4 scenes and had the opportunity to be a part of this while still on active duty in the RCN himself.
I was in this movie. I was dressed as a British Lieutenant. I was serving in the Canadian Navy at the time and working in the building were the map was located. I also worked on the HMCS Sackville "Fireweed" years before the movie.😆
Inept incompetent Western governments severely abused their men & women called-up for War Time Combat Duty, Ill- trained Ill-equipped, faulty equipment, wooden mock-ups instead of actual offensive big naval guns!! Faulty torpedoes!! Absence of Long-Range ASW Patrol Bombers!! Absence of Long Range Fighters for Bomber protection enroute to targets !! Small Corvettes in North Atlantic substituting for larger more deadly Destroyers !! US Navy COMMAND doesn’t have a clue how to employ US Subs offensively against killer Nazi Wolf Pack U-Boat tactics first two years wears of WWII !! The list of failures is endless, first two years of the war !! Countless lives lost & war-fighting matériels due to Administrative & political FAILURES. It’s far too depressing to continue.
Like the ships it portrays this movie punches above its weight. Glad I came across it.
The work of Bletchley Park helped to bring a quicker end to the Battle of the Atlantic. The world did change, but sadly innocent blood is still spilt today through futile wars and a craving for power. The human race will never learn.
😊 thanks from Australia mayyyte 👍🇭🇲
A hidden gem and actually a great movie.
Very good film.
Very good...a few anomolies only ex matelots will spot but its really well done...
I spent 20 years in the Canadian Navy, and the behaviour I'm seeing from the leadership in this movie reminds me of the same leadership that I was subjected to. No wonder my father told me Petty Officers did not go on the upper decks after dark. They were afraid of being thrown overboard. They treated people like shit in the 1940's just like they did in the 90's and early 2000's.
Apparently a Master of Arms was "nudged overboard" on a cruiser in the Atlantic but he was thrown back on the quarterdeck by a wave from the bow wave meeting a natural wave..luck old Master at Arms!!
@@rossmansell5877 I hope he changed his outlook on life following that because there is always Bos'n bingo in the after rope stores if he didn't get the message the first time...
Thank you SOOOMuch! I have an old tattered tape from the tv of this, but I have never been able to find it here in the states since I t was on tv years ago.
Thanks! I was very lucky to get the movie on ebay, many years ago. I was looking for it since it aired on movie channel back in the mid 1990s and I was a kid learning what Canada did back in WW2.
I have an original VHS demo tape from the company that made the film.
Been looking for a DVD copy for years, particularily one with no bad language edit.......
I'm not sure if this is the same convoy that picked up the children, but there was one that did. Two little sisters were rescued and taken back to England, where their frantic parents still wanted them in Canada- 'safe'. They put more children on another ship, along with the 2 sisters that had already been nearly drowned. Sadly, another U-Boat sunk that ship, too, and this time, the sisters drowned. Imagine what they went through- twice. Their parents probably were destroyed by guilt. Search the SS Benares for more stories of ill-fated attempts to rescue children. The Canadians did a lot more during the War but they didn't get as much credit as the 'big' players. SALUTE, Canadians that fought so bravely!
Clown with no miiitary experience thinks 10 years of sea duty qualifies him for the command of a destroyer, refuse to watch stupidity.
This is really good. Thank you.
Impossible decisions have to be made.
Yelling at your men doesn’t help anything.
