"Lieutenant Ward Stewart" (Tyrone Power) is a navy officer who has just been transferred from a PT boat to a submarine. He meets an attractive young lady by the name of "Jean Hewlett" (Anne Baxter) and sets out to win her heart. What he doesn't know is that she is dating another navy officer by the name of "Lt. Cmdr. Dewey Connors" (Dana Andrews) who also happens to be Lt. Ward's commander. Anyway for a movie produced during World War II, I found it to be surprisingly good. I say this for a couple of reasons. First, I expected the usual grade-B movie filmed in black and white. Instead, what I saw was a pretty good movie filmed in color-which was very rare during this particular period. Additionally, while I also expected a heavy amount of propaganda, I was delighted to see that it wasn't too bad--except for the very end, that is. Likewise, the acting was decent and the special effects were adequate for the most part. All things considered then, while this isn't the best submarine movie ever made, I thought it was worth a look all the same.
