Editorial Reviews:
|
"Rich" Richardson (Clark Gable) is a hard-driving, dedicated submarine officer with a single-mindedpurposeto seek out and smash the Japanese destroyer he believes sank his former ship. Given a new command, Richardson drills his men to the point of mutiny as he relentlessly trains them for the battle ahead. At last, word comes of the destroyer's position, and, disobeying orders, Richardson finally confronts his foe, unaware that an even greater enemy lurks nearby...one who's been targeting him for a watery grave. Co-starring Burt Lancaster as Gable's executive officer, this gripping WWII adventure-thriller set a new standard for submarine pictures. "Severely, nail-bitingly tense" (The New York Times), Run Silent, Run Deep is the most exciting film about the "silent service" ever made.

Summary: A WW2 Submarine Classic
Comment: This classic film features two strong leading men - Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster - in a realistic submarine movie. Lancaster was a producer on the project and pursued realism and authenticity in the production. Both men are tough and equally clear about their mission. For Gable, a captain whose former command was sunk, his focus is to sink the famed and fast Akikaze Japanese destroyer that can only be sunk with a dangerous bow shot. Otherwise, it's not in position long enough to hit. For Lancaster, the trust and care of his men (not unlike Gable's desire to avenge the death of his men) is a preeminent concern.
Gable and Lancaster are at their finest in this film. In addition, such stalwart actors as Brad Dexter, Jack Warden and a comedic Don Rickles round out the cast.

Summary: "Silent, But Deadly"
Comment: One of the most suspensfully intense movies ever made. Gable and Lancaster are perfect in their roles, and there is a great supporting cast. The eerie sounds of the sonar equipment and the feeling of claustrophobia in the interior of the submarine add to the intensity. If you have never seen this great WWII flick, you should add it to your viewing plans.

Summary: Look to the seas and look back to the good old days
Comment: When you look at 1958's RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP directed by Robert Wise you can see the intellect, craftsmanship and most importantly the emotionally charged energy that went into the making of this film. Director Robert Wise was always the consummate professional consistently delivering a solid, engrossing and entertaining motion picture. Robert Wise was a director with no discernible directorial style yet he took whatever the budget would allow and he always delivered a solid film time after time. I believe his background as a film editor gave him a very dynamic approach of taking all the elements that go into a film and he had the cohesive ability to meld these into a singular piece of a highly visual and often memorable piece of cinematic art. RUN SILENT, RUN DEEP is a fine example of this. I saw this film when I was just a little kid yet the visuals remain in my memory as clear as when I first saw it. Jack Warden's everyman performance mirroring the sentiments of the viewer and Clark Gable's apparent obsessive nature as the Captain who is troubled by a subliminal realization that he just can't bring to the surface are so memorable. " We are in the Bungo Straits."

Summary: An aging legend and a new generations star
Comment: It's interesting to note that at 6'1'' and 6'2'' Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster would have been too tall for submarine duty in WWII. Watch the scene on board the sub in the confines of the captains cabin. Its a credit to Lancaster that when Gable erupts from his desk and shoves his face into Burts that Lancaster stands his ground. Even though he was not a man who was easily intimidated on screen or off, It wasnt easy with some one as forceful as The King. The powerful personalities of these two Hollywood superstars propel this classic war drama.
