  • Terrific character study!

  • Very Good War Movie!!I Have It In My collection!!!

    Great Theme Song!!!

  • One of the best scenes ever in any movie is the last  5 minutes of this film. Th last verbal exchange between Curt and Robert is priceless. More specifically Curt's last line in the movie..

  • Hey Supervcr, how about you upload the movie, and keep the dumb trailers for yerself. 10 minute movie tease sucks !!!!!!!!

  • Blast, why has no one uploaded the theme song of this movie? One of my favorite sub films.

  • I don't know, it's hard to differentiate 2 nations if both crews speak the same language. Was really a great mistake not to cast germans as nazi's crew - it would make a much bigger effect...

  • knight spirit

  • This is one of the best WWII movies I've ever seen. It humanizes both of the adversaries in the battle, and shows how even enemies can develop a grudging respect for one another. The destroyer's doctor does a great job of representing all of the men who wished to retain their humanity, and hope for the humanity of the world, even in the midst of this terrible conflict.

  • I laugh when they said:

    killer-sub VS.

    Sub-killer

  • BOTTTOOOMMMM!!!! yes mein kapitane!! EPIC!!!

  • i read that the sub was ok unless a depth charge or hedge hog or squid was to exploded less then 6 feet from the outer hull. the inner presure hull would be ruptured and that would bring the end of the submarines crew all hands

  • Doug McClure in his first movie role as Ensign Merry " I could try a heart, sir"!

  • Why didn't they stick to the book and kept it as an RN destroyer.

  • @SuperAncientmariner Its an AMERICAN film! lol

  • one of my favorites...

  • One of the Best Robert  Mitchum movies!!

  • Hey, toontown, how can this suck??? Mad because none of the muslim garbage who now infests the White House sniffs Camel Turds (for Allah) on these ships? Furious because your male-banging Ramadan punks aren't featured here? How's about strapping President Balak O'Sambo's daughters to the depth charges??

  • @SuperVcarroll LOL 

  • would not have wanted to be inside one of those subs, depth charges were designed to shake a sub apart.

    the shock waves sent out by a depth charge could really rattle you, I read that some men had their backs broken if they happened to be leaning up against the hull.

  • HEINE' Bring her back to 140

  • Robert Mitchum was a really cool actor,had a great screen presence about him.This is one of my favourites.

  • Did we know...

    Curt Jergens-Nazis imprisoned him in Concentration camp for speaking against Nazism.

    My book...he's a real war hero. Risk life for beliefs.

  • @actonbath i didnt know that! very commendable.

  • This film was never given its true place in cinema history. It's excellent! And Curt Jurgens always does it for me. He was a wow!!!!!

  • i havent seen this for years. does anyone know where they have the full movie online?

  • Robert Mitchum in his best form. One of the 'old school' movies that I keep watching over and over.

  • @Daniel4646 Not only Robert Mitchum. Curt Jürgens either was one of the greatest actors ever. And this roll was one of his masterpieces.

  • @ArminiusvanLand

    Both of them "fought each other" later in "the Longest Day" again on each side of the war.

  • Great movie, thanks for sharing!

  • I liked Dick Powell

  • The ship is 'portrayed' by DE 634 USS Whitehurst, on which my Dad served proudly in the Korean War, at the Pusan Perimeter, where she was a floating power station (her torpedo tubes were replaced with a large power cable spool during a ww2 refit following a Kamikaze hit at Okinawa.

  • Don't you just love these old trailers. In a suit and all.

  • Scuttlebutt-My favorite movie! But I'm prejudice. I was aboard the ship when the movie was made. The USS Whitehurst DE634, summer of 57 off Hawaii.

  • This is one of my all-time favorite films. Does anybody have the clip for the sequence where the destroyer rams the U-boat and the crews save each other?

  • In spanish: yo lei la novela del autor, en la pelicula se equivocaron en algo, el destructor es ingles

  • You're right. It was Star Trek TOS episode, Balance of Terror

  • German captain called him a devil, and Romulan commander called Kirk a sorcerer.

  • Another Star Trek related fact to this movie. The U-Boat's second in command was played by Theodore Bikel, who portrayed Worf's foster father in the first year of ST:TNG.

  • And Theodore Bikel also played Captain Ludwig von Trapp in the original Broadway production of "The Sound of Music". BTW, he played Worf's foster father in a third season episode of Next Gen, not first season.

  • I seem to recall a star trek episode (Kirk) with the same premise as this movie

  • correct thier first encounter with the romulans same type of story:i think it was tittled balance of terror

  • I grew up to this video, living with grandparents...has to be one of my favorites. You need to post the scene with the Haynes ramming das boot!...lol

  • I've seen this movie 200 times. The final scene with Mitchum and Jurgens on the fantail of the destroyer is one of the best endings to a World War II movie. Courtesy of imdb:

    Von Stolberg: I should have died many times, Captain, but I continue to survive somehow. This time it was your fault.

    Captain Murrell: I didn't know. Next time I won't throw you the rope.

    Von Stolberg: I think you will.

  • Absolutely. Ihat sequence always brings a tear to my eye every time I see it.

    One of my all time favorite movies.

  • be awsome if someone Put up the Germans singing the Boat song. that was an awsome song....

  • I will be posting more trailers as my DVD collection grows. :-) tanx for the comment.

  • i love this film i taped it years ago off the telly and ive watched it quiet a few times. thanks for putting it on.
