Action in the North Atlantic is a 1943 war film directed by Lloyd Bacon, featuring Humphrey Bogart and Raymond Massey as sailors in the U.S. Merchant Marine in World War II.
The oil tanker mastered by Captain Steve Jarvis (Raymond Massey) is sunk in the north Atlantic Ocean by a German U-boat. He and the first officer, his friend Joe Rossi (Humphrey Bogart), make it to a lifeboat along with other crewmen. When the U-boat crew start filming their plight they respond with rude gestures and are rammed. The men swim to a raft and are rescued after 11 days adrift.
During their brief liberty, Steve spends time with his wife Sarah (Ruth Gordon), while Joe meets and marries singer Pearl O'Neill (Julie Bishop). The film cuts to the union hall where merchant seamen - including the survivor's of Jervis's last ship - spend their time waiting to be assigned to a new ship. One of the crew jokes about getting a shore job, or maybe one on the Staten Island Ferry. The others prove unamused, and shame him into signing along for another ship.
Then, it is back to sea on a new Liberty ship, the SS Seawitch, on a convoy carrying vital war supplies to the Russians at Murmansk.
