Run Silent, Run Deep

Run Silent, Run Deep (1958) starring Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster. Gable and Lancaster play the captain and the executive officer of an American submarine during World War II. Lancaster has the loyalty of the crew, but Gable has a single-minded obsession -- revenge on the Japanese destroyer that sank the sub he commanded a year ago. He takes the submarine into the dangerous Bungo Straits, where he hopes to sink the Japanese ship with an unorthodox bow shot. There are several complications to the story, but it all ends satisfactorily. This movie has subtitles in English, as well as closed captions. I rather enjoyed it. Grade: B+
