Review :

Top notch WWII action film - heads above others.

This is one of the best WWII films you'll ever see. The action is fast-paced and non-stop, the acting is fine, the special effects and editing are excellent and the deservedly Oscar nominated Cinematography is exceptional and often breathtaking. It is a fascinating look at the underwater demolition teams during that conflict. Although the plot is not new - new commander must win respect of his men, trying to follow in the footsteps of their former leader (now deceased), whom they idol-worshipped. Richard Widmark shows more sensitivity and humility than he displays in most of his other roles and the ensemble team (including veterans Gary Merrill and Dana Andrews) work very well together. The camera work is often quite astonishing, as in the drop off and pick up sequences of the frogmen at high water speeds and in the underwater sequences. There is quite a lot of exposed beefcake for those audiences who watch these films for just such entertainment. Particularly memorable is Jeffrey Hunter in his third credited film role - his beauty is extraordinary and he shows an admirable acting ability. The sequence where he is trapped in sick bay with an unexploded torpedo rammed into the room while Widmark and Andrews try to disarm it has incredible tension. The Academy nominated it for Story and Cinematography - certainly deserved - but missed the chance to acknowledge it for its equally excellent Special Effects and Editing, both of which deserved recognition. This is one to seek out and enjoy.
