Propaganda movie with a love triangle thrown in, 9 August 2005
Author:

Fantastic special effects highlight this World War II submarine drama
starring Tyrone Power, Dana Andrews, and Anne Baxter - Power's last
before going into the Marines.Power is charming as a man who captures the heart of Anne Baxter, who
though he doesn't know it, just happens to be the girl of Dana Andrews,
Power's new commanding officer.Out on the submarine, there's some exciting action as the sub searches
for a secret base set up by the Nazis. One interesting subplot is the
friendship of Oliver, a black soldier, with Mac, portrayed by James
Gleason. Ben Carter, who played Oliver, does a great job, and his role
as a concerned friend and brave soldier is not the usual stereotypical
one blacks were often forced to play. The ending, of course, is pure propaganda as Power, supposedly talking
to his uncle, talks about the fighting men, subs, PT boats, and the
like all doing their job. I'm in no way trying to denigrate it -
propaganda is a fascinating part of film history and at that time was
deemed important to the war movement. It's all very interesting to view
today. And Power is gorgeous.
