Run Silent, Run Deep (1958)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 93m
Director: Robert Wise
Cast: Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster, Jack Warden, Brad Dexter

Synopsis:

In 1943, a submarine commander takes his crew and their passed over skipper into dangerous waters and against orders to settle an old score with a Japanese destroyer.

Review:

Robustly acted and with 'realistic' close quarter photography by Russell Harlan, this Hecht-Hill-Lancaster production is a disappointing entry in the submarine movie stakes, given the talent involved. The screenplay builds in every shipboard cliché in the book, from Captain Ahab to Fletcher Christian, but apart from a tense silent running sequence involving enemy subs rarely achieves drama on a scale much greater than the miniatures that dominate its exteriors.
