For Christmas Laura gave Phil and me a few WWII dramas. WWII dramas were some of Grandpa Criss' favorite movies and he passed several down to us. Though not my very favorite genre I do enjoy them and have learned a lot about that period in our history.
Warning: we do not fully endorse this movie! Like most movies out, there is some good and some that should be skipped over. Thank you to Laura who is our sensor fast forwarding those inappropriate scenes. Run Silent, Run Deep is a classic submarine story with all the suspense and thrill that should be in a good submarine movie including depth charging, torpedo attacks, rigging for silent running and more.
Amazon product description:
"Rich" Richardson (Clark Gable) is a hard-driving, dedicated submarine officer with a single-mindedpurposeto seek out and smash the Japanese destroyer he believes sank his former ship. Given a new command, Richardson drills his men to the point of mutiny as he relentlessly trains them for the battle ahead. At last, word comes of the destroyer's position, and, disobeying orders, Richardson finally confronts his foe, unaware that an even greater enemy lurks nearby...one who's been targeting him for a watery grave. Co-starring Burt Lancaster as Gable's executive officer, this gripping WWII adventure-thriller set a new standard for submarine pictures. "Severely, nail-bitingly tense" (The New York Times), Run Silent, Run Deep is the most exciting film about the "silent service" ever made.
