Yangtse Incident (1957)
Based on real life events this film from director Michael Anderson stars Richard Todd and has a cast including William Hartnell. In 1949 China is in a state of civil war and a British ship is attacked on the Yangtse river.
This film is similar to a number of other black and white war films made in Britain during the period in that it sticks largely to the facts and does not get overly involved in the characters or their back story. There are some moments of tension but for the most part the film is more documentary and less cinematic, overall it is a watchable if unremarkable effort.
3/5
