Hell Below, 1933
I just saw a great movie on TCM, which used S-boats throughout. It's Hell Below, 1933, with Walter Houston and Robert Montgomery. It's an old style Hollywood war story set in World War I, but it is shot entirely on an S-boat. The sea and interior scenes are wonderful. It you want to get a real feel for what an S-boat is like, this is the way to do it.
