Amazon.co.uk Review
Directed by Ralph Thomas, Above Us the Waves (1955) tells of a Royal Navy mission to sink the "invincible" German battleship Tirpitz, off the Norwegian coast. John Mills is calm and confident as the mission commander, with strong support from John Gregson and Donald Sinden--all treated by the German personnel as fellow gentlemen when captured. Despite stirring music from Arthur Benjamin, the action sequences are visually no more than adequate, and the film is only a partial success.--Richard Whitehouse

 A must for war film fanatics! October 27, 2000
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
This is a really good show. Depicting the struggle of the courageous band of volunteers who manned the midget submarines on the mission to destroy the Tirpitz, the shooting and superb casting make for a tense atmosphere - where the audience begins to feel the pressure of being trapped under the ocean in cramped conditions with a vitally important mission to perform. A tribute to British spirit and ingenuity!
 Really British October 26, 2007
"Smith" Reader (West Midlands United Kingdom)
Above Us The Waves starrs John Mills who is always super as a great Britsh hero and this is how this film wins! Showing the skills of a small group of volunteers who manned the midget submarines on a"one way" mission to destroy the Tirpitz.
What makes the film great is that it is true!
