Movie Reviews of The Enemy Below
Movie Review: Great Movie!, SOO COOL to find it on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like the cat and mouse drama as well as the authenticity and originality of WW2 flicks YOU WILL like this movie! DVD features like scene selection, subtitles, etc is a cool thing though a special features with deleted scenes and perhaps a commentary would make it worth twice the price!
This is a really great movie with very little bore that is well worth the price.
Great Story!, Great Plot!, Great Setting!, What more could you want?
Movie Review: "He's a devil Heinie" !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tightly paced, this formulaic "cat and mouse" submarine film still works fifty years after it's release.Directed by former movie tenor Dick Powell and made during the Cold War, it features "rehabilitated" Nazis and carries a message of cooperation. Great performances by Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens and a good supporting cast allow you to overlook some of the cheesy special effects. A movie you can dust off and enjoy every few years.Movie Review: An Important Point - DE not DD
Summary: 5 Stars
Just so people are clear - the U.S. ship is a Destroyer Escort (DE), not a destroyer (DD).
The distinction is crucial to the drama of the story. As someone in the movie comments (if I remember correctly), usually two DEs were thought necessary to successfully hunt a U-boat. On the other hand, destroyer vs. U-boat would place the odds more in the U.S. ship's favor. DE vs. U-boat was much more even.
Movie Review: The Enemy Below
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a Classic!! One of the best stories to come out of WW2. Mitchum plays the skipper of an American destroyer escort patrolling the South Atlantic. Jurgens plays the skipper of a German submarine. The crew of the American ship are bored due to the routine of patrol duties. By accident they stumble upon the sub and the chase is on. Who sinks who?? Great action flick with good acting. don't miss this one!Movie Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
They don't make them like this anymore! Great move and great transfer to DVD. The special effects are showing their age, but hey, it was made in 1957. Actually, the special effects are the only part of the film that has not aged well. I was surprised by the fact that the only Oscar the film won was for special effects!! Oh how times have change! Now the effects are stunning but the acting is bland.
