Goofs

The rope used to secure the hatch until repairs are made is too loose when Gable touches it. It should be taut, like a fiddle string. See more »

Excellent Submarine Movie
31 January 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The interaction between Gable and Lancaster is something to behold. That and the story, the tension and the realism of men under attack. Yes, the special effects are not to the "high" standards of today, but they serve the story well and do not detract from the important drama. As one poster said, this movie would be ill served in color as would Das Boot in B&W. An overall excellent adaptation of the book and as far as the points not explained, all the better. I hate movies that stop the action to then explain to a character what that character is about to experience/see/do, etc. Give the movie goer credit for being able to fill in the gaps. A must have for any WWII movie collection.
