Hell and High Water
(1954)
Directed by Samuel
Fuller this film stars Richard Widmark, Bella Darvi and Victor
Francen. An independent group of scientists hire a former WW2
submarine captain to help them investigate a potential Communist
nuclear facility in the North Pacific.
Mostly this is a
pretty standard Cold War film that while not completely believable in
basic plot is fairly realistic in execution. The best sequences are
the submarine on submarine warfare that dominate the middle of the
film which otherwise is not overly filled with tension. Mostly the
film is well made and the special effects are not bad for the era.
3/5
