Submarine weekend on TCM

Any you guys see the movies on Turner Classic Movies last weekend?

Destination Tokyo

and We dive at Dawn.

Besides the intense propaganda of both films, I preferred the Brit movie. The scenes on the U class were pretty realistic IMO. The fleet boat looked lousy....

What did you guys think?

Crumbs, I have always wanted to see we dive at dawn.

I hope it will be repeated

Yes. It makes you want to drive a U class in the Med

How can you not like Cary Grant? Tony Curtis says it was this movie which inspired him to become an actor. Later he was able to play a major role in Operation Petty Coat w/ Cary.

BTW today Red October looks very hollywood and unrealistic, but I wager it got many folks interested in the silent service.

All sub movies are way cool!

I agree.

, Cary Grant is cool. But the interior of the fleet boat was kinda cheesy. Run silent, Run deep was actually shot on a fleet boat.

I guess this is understandable as Destination Tokyo was made in 1943.

The interior of the U class in We dive at dawn was much better
