An intriguing film about the war record of British Lieutenant Commander Lionel "Buster" Crabb (no relation to the Hollywood star and athlete), this is entertaining as well as educational, and that makes it a war movie worth seeing. It's a good role for Laurence Harvey, showing his dedication as well as his eccentricities, the toughness and the loyalty, absolutely no nonsense yet showing the reason why. He needs complete silence while dismantling the minds placed in the Mediterranean sea, and because of that, many British lives were saved.
You get to see the working of the submarine corps, with smaller subs that look like natural marine life, and thus difficult to identify through underwater apparatuses viewing them without metal detectors. Dawn Addams, Michael Craig, John Clements, Sid James and a litter of new born puppies are great support, and good scenery, photography and music are beneficial, especially since a good percentage of the film takes place below water. Even though there's a lot of technical dialogue, it's done in a way that is very interesting and self explanatory, never confusing. Good montage scenes aides the film in moving at a fast pace.
