“The Battle of the River Plate” on its first UK release in ’56.
This is the ’56 release poster for the UK, using very similar artwork to the '57 US release under the title, "Pursuit of the Graf Spee".
The USS Salem doubled for the Graf Spee in this dramatised documentary of one of the great sea battles, which took place in WWII.
A Powell – Pressburger film, and all the thud and blunder is here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048990/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_2
