Oh, it's BRILLIANT! Not quite Das Boot, but easily a match for The Hunt for Red October!

Agree about the inaccuarices but still pretty good considering its age (the year I was born).

If they are the only things wrong it can't be a bad movie.

The silliest part of the film IMHO:

But the shots aboard the real DE are partly what made me choose destroyers when I joined the navey. Truly a great sea movie! Also one of those rare cases where the movie is actually better than the book (or so the reviews I've read say). [edit] I was just reading the description at Wiki, and they have some interesting details about the crew of USS Whitehurst, which played the fictional USS Haynes in the movie. Quote:
I love it when they do stuff like that.

Me too. If you've got extras behaving the way an actual crew would, because the extras are an actual crew, it just adds that bit of realism.

Another obscure fact:
For those of you who watch(ed) the original STAR TREK televison show the episode called "Balance of Terror" was based on "The Enemy Below". I remember the first time I watched TEB (must have been around 1965) I was so upset when I saw that at least one of the torpedoes was going to hit. Salute !!! AD "The Miami yacht races were never like this !!" |

I have just watched this movie yesterday, a wonderful movie, it’s now definitely my second best naval movie after "Das Boot" off course. It’s one of the rarest movie which show you the two sides and no good/bad guy distinction.
