    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The movie was filmed on a low budget. As a result nearly all the shots of the submarines, ships and the action scenes were stock footage from World War II.
    • Goofs
      The studio set is much larger than a wartime submarine would have been.
    • Quotes

      Ens. Caldwell: [after the Chief and Junior are killed] I couldn't help it about the Chief.

      Duke E. Gifford: Remembering how he took care of you?

      Ens. Caldwell: Yes sir.

      Duke E. Gifford: Well, before he took care of you, he took care of Larry, before Larry, he took care of me and before me he took care of Pop. Chiefs have been taking care of this man's Navy for a long time, Mister Caldwell. Don't worry about him, there's a lot of good sailors back there for him to take care of.

    • Crazy credits
      In keeping with the submarine theme of the film: at the very start, we see a submarine periscope break the surface of the sea, then we see an officer looking into the view-port of the periscope, then we see the opening credits appear, as if being viewed through a periscope.
    • Alternate versions
      Republic Pictures released a colorized version on video.
    • Connections
      Features Tavoitteena Tokio (1943)
    • Soundtracks
      We Watch the Skyways

      Music by Max Steiner

      Played during the opening credits and often throughout the picture

    Sub par Movie
    This movie, which i revisited on German and English DVD yesterday is definitely more in the B Movie of the Sub Marine Genre. They could have learned from watching Destination Tokyo more closely, as this was with all its limitations still a fine movie and much less a strange flag waver whilst closer to the actual war time. Ward Bond and John Wayne still look like somebody stole their horses and don't know where to go, the submarine is spacious as an Ikea show room and the stress level when depth charged more like a tenant being annoyed with next door noise when watching Super Bowl. What did work quite good was the Wayne - Neal relationship, which you will see much more developed and mature in Harm's Way about 20 years later. Not urgent to watch.
