Rating: - A WW2 Submarine Classic
This classic film features two strong leading men - Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster - in a realistic submarine movie. Lancaster was a producer on the project and pursued realism and authenticity in the production. Both men are tough and equally clear about their mission. For Gable, a captain whose former command was sunk, his focus is to sink the famed and fast Akikaze Japanese destroyer that can only be sunk with a dangerous bow shot. Otherwise, it's not in position long enough to hit. For Lancaster, the trust and care of his men (not unlike Gable's desire to avenge the death of his men) is a preeminent concern.
Gable and Lancaster are at their finest in this film. In addition, such stalwart actors as Brad Dexter, Jack Warden and a comedic Don Rickles round out the cast.
Rating: - GREAT MOVIE!!
My family and i really enjoyed this movie. I know you've heard it; "they don't make them like that anymore". These were truly the greatest generation. Oh yea, and thank you Amazon for carrying it and shiping it so fast.
Rating: - "Silent, But Deadly"
One of the most suspensfully intense movies ever made. Gable and Lancaster are perfect in their roles, and there is a great supporting cast. The eerie sounds of the sonar equipment and the feeling of claustrophobia in the interior of the submarine add to the intensity. If you have never seen this great WWII flick, you should add it to your viewing plans.
