War Film

I’m looking for a WWII war film that takes place in the Mediterranean. I saw it in the 60’s.  I believe it was B/W, and in English.  The plot involves an either American or British destroyer and a German U-Boat.  They are trying to kill each other, but end up across the same pier from each other in a North African neutral port.  The crews of both vessels end up in the same bar where the Germans are outnumbered in a fight with some soldiers.  The Americans or Brits join the fight to help out the Germans.  Both crews end up in the same jail together.  When asked why the American or Brits came to the aid of their enemies, the Germans, they say, “because they were sailors in trouble.”  The film ends with the two vessels back out at sea and trying to kill each other again.

What is the name of this film?
