	Movies - The Silver Fleet

The Silver Fleet (1943) was written and directed by British filmmakers Vernon Sewell and Gordon Wellesley and produced by Powell & Pressburger under the banner of The Archers.

Plot

In the early years of WWII, the Nazis have over-run The Netherlands and have taken over the shipyard run by Jaap van Leyden (Ralph Richardson). They were making submarines for the Dutch Navy. The German Von Schiffer (Esmond Knight) demands that they resume making submarines but for the Nazis.

This leads to many problems for van Leyden and his wife (Googie Withers) when everyone sees them as collaborators. But van Leyden works out a way to do what the Nazis want but to keep his conscience clear as well.
