2) Destination Tokyo with Cary Grant. Note: LCdr Dudley Morton was an advisor on the set of the film. http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musit...FRciUAodxAXWvg
3) Run Silent Run Deep with Clark Gabble, Burt Lancaster and a list of other notables. Note: This is the movie adaptation of Ed Beache's novel. Ed served throughout the war on some rather famous subs most notable was USS Trigger. He was the Exc Officer. Ed's other book "Submarine" is a very informative read itself. Packed with loads of information you might not otherwise find. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052151/
I highly recommend these films for late night viewing enjoyment. There are other films but these are the ones I remember best. |
Very good movies and have a copy of each.
Also a good WWII Sub movie is "Torpedo Run" with Glenn Ford and Ernest Borgnine.
Happy Hunting
