Inspired by the memory of the Dutch historical hero Piet Hein, he forms a complicated plan to double cross the Nazis and to sabotage the two submarines he's been ordered to build for them. A truly rousing and patriotic WWII film, with an ending that is quite moving. This film has long been underappreciated.
