Did a German U-boat Sailor See a Movie on US Soil?

There is a persistent urban legend that says that during World War II, a German sailor came ashore on the coast of North Carolina and saw a movie at Southport's Amuzu Theare.

The submarine was sunk and the body found floating in the water. A recent ticket to a movie at the theatre was found in his pocket.

Another version of the story has the ticket as being from the old Bailey Theater in downtown Wilmington, about ten miles upriver.
