Not seen this one since I was a little kid. All I could remember was that it was gripping, but I would only have been about six or seven.
But it stands up well today. Great performances from Gable and Lancaster, and a good pace to it with some twists and turns.
All the action on the submarine is historically accurate, they had WW2 submarine force vets in to technically advise them. The only thing that is a bit dodgy is the Jap sub shooting a torpedo at them whilst both subs are underwater.
HMS Venturer sunk a German sub underwater at end of war.Quote:

Yes, I looked it up. 8 torpedoes at timed intervals based on a guess of the German's possible course. The U-boat inadvertently turned into the path of one of them.Quote:

Anyway, still a great film.
