… a Battle ith the German Battleship Bismarck "A number of British actors served during the Second World War, but few could claim they came face to face with the German battleship Bismarck and lived to tell the tale. Someone who did just that was Esmond Knight, the stage and cinema star who actually became injured during an engagement with Bismarck, which resulted in him losing an eye. What's more, this wound almost put his entire acting career in jeopardy…" Main page link

Ah, usage can be so revealing- "the HMS…..". Another millennial Wikipedia special. That aside, I remember learning this after I first saw the movie, and being touched at the thought that his acting was a portrayal of a man he had seen and known. It's something to watch the actors of that era portraying the men of that era, because modern actors usually seem so self-consciously modern. |

An excellent actor who I remember from British films of the '40s and '50s. I saw "STB" in high school and loved it and have continued to enjoy it's solid acting and brilliant model work as times passes. |
