The Sea Wolves
During WWII, this historical narrative follows the exploits of a top-secret British military mission to destroy Nazi radio ships in a neutral harbor. Col. Lewis Pugh (Gregory Peck) and Capt. Gavin Stewart lead the audacious plot (Roger Moore). Because the ships are in neutral territory, the British military command must deny any knowledge of the operation if it fails. Pugh and Stewart enlist the assistance of retired officer Col. Bill Grice (David Niven) and some of his former soldiers. Under the guise of a fishing expedition, these allegedly intoxicated old men in civilian attire must board and destroy three Nazi ships, the radio transmissions of which have resulted in Nazi submarines sinking allied ships. While Stewart organizes a distraction onshore, Pugh and Grice carry out the perilous raid on and destruction of the Nazi ships.
