RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP(1958)
A really decent movie about subs in WWII!! A pretty intense
ride!! B
From IMDb.com:
Directed with steady hands by Robert Wise, Run Silent Run Deep
is as solid a submarine adventure you could wish to see. That
it has the talents of Clark Cable & Burt Lancaster to call on
is obviously a bonus, but the films triumph is playing it
straight, it doesn't have to resort to histrionics, it portrays
the tenseness of the situation perfectly, men under pressure
during the most trying of times.
The heartbeat of the film is the respective characters that
Lancaster & Cable are playing, both men have different beliefs
in how this submarine and its mission should be handled, and
it is this play off that lifts the film into very good
territory, ably supported by Don Rickles, Brad Dexter and
Jack Warden the film is a fine character piece that has
enough action sequences to keep war genre fans happy as
well. 8/10 - hitchcockthelegend
