Well Done, Sailor.
I rank this up there with any of the other great Submarine movies. Das Boot, Enemy Below, Run Silent, Run Deep and others.Glenn Ford is always at his best playing this type of character. Conflicted and mentally pained men who have tough decisions. Ernest Borgnine, as usual almost steals the movie though. He is one of the greatest second fiddle players in any movie he co stars in. Being someone who grew up watching him in McHale’s Navy as a child and later learning just how great of an actor he can be, is a treat.
I do think the flashback scenes hurt the pace of the movie, but are necessary for context.
The movie is well filmed and makes great use of color. Many other great Sub movies about WWII are in Black and White, but that doesn’t seem to take away from them. Here, the color is big plus.
I love Submarine movies probably because I know, that if I had the honor to of served in the U.S. Armed Forces, this would be the last place I’d want to be. Above the water I could tolerate it in battle, under it, I’d be a panicking wonder how I’d get out if we got hit. For that I salute everyone who served underwater, no matter which country you call home.
8/10 Rating.
It’s about choices…hard ones
This is a pretty decent little war drama. It’s not high on the “must see” list but it’s got Glenn Ford in it so…it’s worth a watch.The subs captain is living in Manila with his wife and child before the war starts in the Pacific. His wife in Manila, decides to stay behind and hide in the hills/mts. if and when the Japanese invade. The captain tries to put his foot down but she won’t have it, she’s staying with their child. Well the Japs invade and they imprison her and the child. The Japs know what sub captains are in the area and decide to take a troop ship of prison camp detainees, 2 who include his wife and child, all the way to Japan. They use the ship to block a heavily fortified Carrier ship from being torpedo’d by the captain. Well, they make the wrong move. The captain tries to shoot the Carrier anyhow…and misses…hitting and sinking the transport ship…killing his wife and child. From here on out its a cat and mouse game of finding the carrier ship he missed.
What I got out of this film is making good and bad choices. If he would have laid down the law with his wife, they would have been somewhere else..alive and well….but he acquiesces and lets her have her way. Down the line he eventually shoots the boat by mistake. Both of these were difficult choices that he now…has to live with.
So what would you have done?
