rex W @RT11010153 Apr 13 There is never a dull moment in"Run Silent, Run Deep." It is a harrowing submarine tale about revenge and dedication. Burt Lancaster and especially Clark Gable are at the top of their game. It is one of the top 25 war movies of all time. See more Russ G @RT78760655 Jan 30 A compelling underwater saga, lifted out of the rut by the casting of the King of Hollywood opposite Burt Lancaster. Captain Ahab had his white whale; Gable has his Bungo Pete. The story is rather far-fetched as there would be no way in the circumstances of the war to track a particular enemy destroyer, and the sub's commander would never be given the leeway to pursue a personal vendetta at the cost of strategic objectives. Still, this one stands out due to the fine performances of the principles and supporting characters. This was regular Saturday matinee TV fodder for decades.

See more Isaiah Y @zayman2 Jun 21 Classic war thriller with great performances by Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster See more Peter H @UFpjh 03/15/2025 The tensions building among the crew on the boat, the professionalism of Lancaster as number 2 who deserves to be captain, the swashbuckling of Gable as a man on a mission, it is a great story and a testament to WWII submariners. See more Mark B @Mbindon 07/02/2024 Moby Dick overtones in this highly suspenseful perfectly written and acted movie. The practical effects yes they are obviously model boats but it still works so well. Perfectly paced which is not always the case with older movies. A nearly perfect film. See more Read all reviews
