Sink the Bismarck (1960)
Re: Sink the Bismark (1960)
Lest we forget, Sink the Bismarck was based on the 1959 historical novel Hunting the Bismarck by C.S.Forester. Forester made no pretense about it being anything more than a novel.
Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood and Earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned these defended;
And saved the sum of things for pay.

Re: Sink the Bismark (1960)
Yup...I have CS Forrester's book. The movie does basically follow the "novel" - some of the dialogue is almost word for word. There is only 1 hit on Bismarck in the DS, but..there is no fictional destroyer sinking.
