Destination Tokyo!
This is a very good movie! I'm watching it on TCM at the moment.
What are your thoughts on it? Yes, I realize that this movie is terribly inaccurate from a historical standpoint.

I think Tokyo's a great destination, especially the Roppongi district...

It suffers from being made during the war, thus having a heroic crew accomplish the impossible for propaganda purposes. That said, it is a cut above most such movies and a fun film to watch.

Run Silent, Run Deep was a better movie IMO.
Both movies were inaccurate historically but i enjoyed them

I honestly enjoyed the movie years back but took into account a large slice of propaganda was also intended.

Here's one from the other side. No subtitles, but not hard to follow.

I really like it. I have a copy I aquired a long time ago, and now I have to find it. I could have sworn that when they arrive home from the patrol at the start of the movie, Dönitz himself was there to greet them.
