Robert Mitchum, Curt Jurgens
Big budget realistic (for 1957 hollywood) story of the cat and mouse game between a US destroyer and a German sub in the South Atlantic in WW2. Crisply paced the film built nicely one step at a time to the final sequence.
The resolution was pretty hokey and overall the entire film paled compared to Das Boot...which sets the standard against which all sub movies will be measured. Still, for its time it was a solid effort and remains gripping. Mitchum's presence helped immensely.
