Article-I.D.: ihtpa.114 Posted: Wed Jul 21 08:31:14 1982 Received: Sun Jul 25 04:54:41 1982 Das Boot, yes well produced visually, a gripping story, fine acting, etc, but alas cinema does not exist divorced from a political and historical context. One leaves this film with the impression that a goodly part of the German navy officer corps during WWII were heroic anti-fascists! A distortion of history (were it only so!) that is inexecusable. -Andy Berman
