Based on a short story by Nicholas Monsarrat and directed by Basil Dearden 'The Ship That Died of Shame' takes place during the bleak aftermath of the Second World War a crew of navy veterans, played by screen legend Richard Attenborough, George Baker and Bill Owen, are forced into smuggling black market goods across the English Channel to make ends meet.
