Review of Run Silent, Run Deep (1958) by Jeff Z — 22 Jan 2010
I don;t think there's such a thing as a bad submarine movie...unless you count that bad Kelsey Frazier "Periscope Down" parody. Both Lancaster and Gable are in top form here as Gable wrests control of a submarine from a resentful Lancaster, who Gable insists remain as executive officer.
Their mission is to go into the dreaded area 7 where several US subs have been sunk but to avoid the Straits. Gable's plan is to ignore orders, go into the straits and sink the destroyer that sank his last sub.
Good stuff.
