Default Question about Run Silent, Run Deep

I was curious about what the author of the book, (Edward Beach, who I think is an awesome writer.) hated so much about the film?

Have a look at Ed Beach's wiki entry:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_L._Beach,_Jr.
This has a better version of it:http://www.submarinesailor.com/InMemorium/BeachNed.htm

If you read the book, and then watch the movie, it won't surprise you to find out that Burt Lancaster was (I think) Executive Producer of the Movie.

That was sooooome big ego on that guy!

Oh... forgot to mention, the movie is good, the book is GREAT!
