Run Silent, Run Deep (1958)
If you’re new to old movies, and you never really seen Burt Lancaster or Clark Gable, please don’t rent Run Silent Run Deep as one of your first. This movie is enough to drive the most devoted fan away from either of them, so have an old favorite on hand to drive it out of your mind.
Clark Gable is a submarine captain whose ship was sunk by the Japanese. He’s angry and out for revenge, and after a year, he’s finally presented with his chance. He’s given control of another submarine, one that Burt Lancaster was counting on commanding, and he plans to go against orders for his personal vendetta.
This plot sounds far more interesting than its execution. The dialogue is boring, the story is predictable, and neither powerhouse actor is given anything to do but shout and scowl. Both sport terrible haircuts, so it’s no fun for the women in the audience. If it’s going to be boring, we might as well have some eye candy, right? You won’t find any in this movie.
DLM Warning: If you suffer from vertigo or dizzy spells, like my mom does, this movie might not be your friend. This is a submarine movie, so expect the ocean waves to make you sick. In other words, “Don’t Look, Mom!”
