Title: Good Film Even if a Little Dated
Review: Cary Grant was highly underrated as an actor in his dramatic and especially comedic roles. In his role as a WW2 submarine commander, he does not disappoint. The film works very well with his able and steady hand at the periscope. Their mission is to infiltrate Tokyo Harbor to get important meteorological information. Their journey has the travails suffered by sub crews - air attacks, medical emergencies and other near misses.Remember: This is a war film made to encourage Americans in a still desperate fight against Japanese fascism. The scales have not yet tilted in America and democracy's favor. So yes, there are jabs at the Japanese as the enemy but that makes this film not just realistic but an authentic piece of recorded history for the temperament of these times.
