Tyrone power is a much more exciting actor than Dana Andrews and in this film he wins Anne Baxter away from Dana. that is the land subplot. the submarine plot is familiar. a sub is captained by andrews and second in command is tyrone, who prefers pt boat duty. they come against a U boat and beat it by playing possum, sending up oil and clothing to convince it that they've been sunk and then they climb up and sink it. on the next go round they follow a sub back into its harbor to discover a major harbor of the enemy and then they blow up the ammo and sink all the subs and get out by the skin of their teeth. (new nuance. when their periscope is destroyed, the captain stays above and acts as the eyes of the boat.) funny black actor- when the landing party is putting on black to go ashore- "i'm the only born commando here". do you know how to swim underwater. No, but i'm about to learn right now. and funniest of all. "gosh all those mines. i wonder what happens if we hit one. ' I don't know, but here's the five dollars that i owe you.
