Under Ten Flags

Under Ten Flags (originally Sotto dieci bandiere) is a 1960 Italian-American war film directed by Duilio Coletti and produced by Dino De Laurentiis Cinematografica. The screenplay, credited to Coletti and Bernhard Rogge, draws freely on the 1955 memoirs of Captain Rogge, who later became a rear admiral in the West German navy.

The film depicts the 622-day raiding voyage of the German auxiliary cruiser Atlantis during World War II. Its title comes from the ship's false-flag tactics, as the narrative follows the Atlantis's attacks on Allied merchant vessels in 1940–1941 until its sinking in 1941. Van Heflin, Charles Laughton, and Mylène Demongeot star, with the film marking one of Laughton's final screen appearances. It premiered in June 1960 at the 10th Berlin International Film Festival.
