Based on The Hand and the Flower, a novel by Jerrard Tickell, A Day to Remember stars Stanley Holloway as Charley Porter, captain of London darts team. When the team travels to the French town of Boulogne for the annual darts tournament, a good time is had by all--and more besides. Jim Carver one of the team's members, is reunited with a little French girl he'd befriended during the war, who has now developed into a beautiful young woman. And Fred Collins makes a poignant journey to the hotel where he'd honeymooned with his late wife. The film works best as a low-key comedy-drama; it is least successful when it ventures into O. Henry territory and strains for "surprise" story twists. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Место действия - океан, Северная Атлантика. Карта поведает вам, как он выглядит, но не откроет, что с ним могут сделать люди и что сам он может сделать с людьми... Сначала о корабле. Первом из двух. О том, который обречен. Это корвет. Новый тип конвойных кораблей. Опытный образец, созданный для того, чтобы хоть как-то встретить отчаянную ситуацию, возникшую на горизонте. Время действия - ноябрь 1939 года. Название корабля - Его Королевского Величества корвет «Компас Роуз». И, наконец, о людях. Некоторые, как и сам этот прекрасный корабль, обречены.
