Table of Contents
The Ship That Died of Shame (1955) also know as PT Raiders in the United States, is a black and white crime adventure film from Ealing Studios. It’s directed by Basil Dearden and stars Richard Attenborough, George Baker, Bill Owen and Virginia McKenna.
Following the end of WWII, three ex-servicemen decide to smuggle items such as wine into Britain. However they soon find themselves transporting ever more sinister cargos.

I’ve added a short clip of the film below as there was no trailer available.
