Battle stations


The Enemy Below (1957)

Directed by Dick Powell this film stars Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens. Durring WW2 an American destroyer in the south Atlantic comes into contact with a German submarine.

Essentially this is a pretty simple plot with little character development that just focuses on the military action. The plot handles the military side well but could have done with another layer to the script. At the time the film was nominated for an Academy award for special effects but to modern eyes they are not great.

3/5
