    5.0 out of 5 stars Strange cover with someone looking like Nicholson but not, very engaging Deserter movie I wonder about Hunt for Red October
    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I found this movie very engaging not in a war action movie kind of a way, but introspectively drawn by the motives that lead to each and next strategic decision by two commanders of a submarine and naval warship -- the U.S. commander who has a past that gives him more of a motive to redeem himself and his lost wife, and a over seasoned German commander who knows that the days of Hitler will soon be over, and ready to desert. Interesting that as Russians you would be defecting, while as Germans you would be deserting. First scenes of their gear in comparison seems more outdated than the U.S., and as a U-boat, smaller, the commanders are clear of the SWOT analysis in order to remain afloat and alive, as well as their duty for their boat and ship. If the General trained into WW2 is himself from a 3rd generation Prussian deserter who remained in the U.S., I'm sure that would have been more a pondering for the German soldiers to wonder if their lives in America would be preferable or realized if that General will also later become the President during Korean War to administer until 1960, the main agenda being highways and roads in America. ... President Eisenhower. As they are using and recalling from their experience from an initial entry and attack and rebound by a U-Boat, I love their thoughts and conversation they convey, as they slowly resort to the last of what they can give and execute and command as their loyal duty to their fellow soldiers, for their country in a state at a later time in warfare, and why the U.S. commander of a burning ship would help the commander of a U-Boat. Very fascinating to watch the two trying to figure how the other will move and maneuver through each attack and rebound from a warship and one a sub U-boat, the risks they take as well as their crew and watching their reactions, and why a U.S. commander feels that way toward his opponent at the end, almost as if to say thank you, as we're all alive, and I don't know if at a certain point you just let it go to our advantage. I love it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Shot From the Bow - Great Moments at Sea
    Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2015

    20th Century Fox - (1957) DVD & BluRay ($15 - $21)
    I remember a lot of movies by how kids talked about them on the playground of Crestview Elementary on the Air Force base I grew up on. The Enemy Below had shown on TV the night before and the talk was enthusiastic; the smell of sea spray and depth charge timing fuses is strong in this one. Robert Mitchum plays a wise, patient but untried wartime captain of a Navy destroyer. Slithering through the dark waters below is a German sub, trying to escape him but committed to a course that will fulfull his mission. Mitchem’s hunter is relentless and reveals experience far above what even his crew expected of him as he outwits and out maneuvers Kurt Jergens sub driver. Deep underwater, Jergens has ghosts he can’t outrun. For one, being a Nazi , he says, has damned them all. “We will meet death without God,” he mourns. But even as he runs out of torpedos and calculates how much air is left aboard his ship, up top Mitchum knows he will take advantage of any lapse of judgement and the German will send him to the bottom -- and nearly does, right to the end.

    There is a great moment when, waiting for word on the missing sub, a sailor hangs a fishing line over the side. Director Dick Powell has the camera follow the line, dipping beneath the waves to the dangled hook, then tilting straight down to see the submarine lurking below. One of many bravura moments of unexpected technique in a movie filled with them. Taut action is absorbing and never lets a boring moment down the hatch as one by one, good men crackup, get injured, or die during two hours of one upmanship between sea captains. No time is wasted on scenes of claustophobia orsailor's boredom; this is an all-out sea battle movie beautifully performed, filmed and directed start to finish. Movies like this really find my soft spot; a major “Periscopes Up!” from the schoolyard.

    This movie does not get into "damn Nazis" but the way things can turn from good to bad without making mistakes. A U boat was a very serious machine, and captained by special men. Any damage and it would be your steel coffin. Imagine sinking down while the hull crushes with you inside, and water roars in. No escape. Two determined captains. One trying to save his sub and men, the other determined to sink this sub after being hit.
