Run Silent, Run Deep (DVD, 1999, Vintage Classics)

According to my husband this is one of the best submarine movies ever made. When he expressed a wish to find a copy I knew that I could find him one on eBay. The transaction was smooth and we received a quality product.

A really good World War II submarine movie made in 1958 starring
Clark Gable (Command Decision, Mogambo, Soldier of Fortune, etc)
who plays a single minded Commander Robinson, who lost his
submarine duing an overzealous pursuit and has sworn to take
revenge against the Japanese destroyer that sunk his ship. But
on his new submarine command, his executive officer played by
Burt Reynolds (The Train, From Here to Eternity, Valdez is Coming, etc)
believes Richardson s obsession is putting the crews lives in
danger, leading to talk of mutiny. The movie also co-stars Jack
Warden (The Aviator, The Replacements, The Presido, etc) in a key
command position on the submarine. The director here is Robert
Wise and he has a whole collection of hits including The Sand
Pebbles, The Andromeda Strain, Star Trek: The Motion Picture just
to name a few. He does another outstanding job in this one, if
you consider the time period of the special effects that he had
to work with. A top notch movie that will appeal to World War II
movie buffs or students of the era to study. Also, may appeal to
drama lovers a bit and is a great one for Classic movie lovers to
add to their collection also as this certainly is a Classic-and
starring a couple of GREAT actors of the era. Will fill a nights
entertainment for certain even if you have watched it before.

A clasic World War II submarine movie. Great Acting and a good story. The tension between Two renoun stars is real.

One of my favorite films. Great acting, wonderful footage of the boat at sea. Oddly, Clark Gable is quivering in a couple of scenes, as though he
were uncomfortably cold. It has the appearance of someone shaking from a muscular tremor, involuntarily. No one has ever commented on this, to my knowledge. He made the last movie of his long career, a few years later, which makes me wonder about his health at the time this one was released.
His performance is good, here, in any case.

A classic WWII submarine movie. A great movie that i enjoyed watching with my dad and when I got the opportunity to buy the DVD I couldn't pass it up.

A wonderful depiction of the cramped underwater world during WWII and the brave young men who defended our freedom. Look hard at the supporting cast. If you can't name them, you'll recognize them. A great addition to my collection.
