Crash Dive (1943)

<HTML>Just another 90 minutes of my life I'd like back...
I somehow managed to survive this film when I watched it two months ago. All around pretty bad, huge wooden subs, token black guy, cliche Captain/XO conflict, so on and so forth.
Pretty shocking to see the difference in how this movie and Das Boot handeled certain scenes. In Crash Dive, a German ship explodes in a huge fireball. We're treated to the sight of burning sailors leaping to their deaths, set to loud, bombastic, heroic music. Rather obnoxiously, I kept thinking about how similar the plot was to U-571, trying to decide which movie was the lesser of two evils.
