A better film about war beneath the ocean and about guys in the "silent service" has not been made.
Run Silent, Run Deep is a taut, exciting drama of submarine warfare in the Pacific during the Second World War.
A taut, well-acted World War II sub drama starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster and directed by Robert Wise. [27 May 1999, p.F50]
Hairy-chested drama aboard a US submarine, cruising dodgy Pacific waters after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Clark Gable is impressive as sole survivor of a sunk sub, given command of another. [06 May 2006, p.53]
The entire film, in fact, is one of the better submarine dramas ever made, tense and claustrophobic, with a minimum of dalliances back at the base (in defiance of the Hollywood dictum that no movie without a love interest can succeed).
A highly competent, conventional Second World War movie. [07 May 2006, p.10]
This 1958 feature is thin stuff, seriously intended but not involving.
