Run Silent Run Deep

	Run Silent Run Deep
	by MGM (Video & DVD) Sales Rank: 13595 Price: $9.94

A movie's lasting value can often be measured by its influence in the years and decades following its original release, and on that basis <I>Run Silent, Run Deep</I> is certainly a classic of sorts. It remains one of the seminal World War II submarine pictures, and its intelligent script and tautly executed action are clearly echoed in such later submarine dramas as <I>Das Boot</I> and especially <I>Crimson Tide</I>, which borrows liberally from this 1958 film.<p> In one of his best and final roles (he appeared in only four films after this), Clark Gable plays a submarine captain without a command, having been saddled with a desk job after his previous ship was destroyed due to his overzealous pursuit of the enemy in dangerous Japanese waters. He finally gets another boat--this time with a vigilant first officer (Burt Lancaster), who stands poised to assume command if Gable puts his crew in unnecessary danger. The tension and mutual respect between these two principled men is superbly written and directed (Robert Wise was just two years away from his triumph with <I>West Side Story</I>), and the crucial inclusion of a strong supporting cast (including Jack Warden and Don Rickles) enhances the movie's compelling authenticity. Based on a novel by former submarine commander Edward L. Beach, <I>Run Silent, Run Deep</I> is rousing entertainment with the added benefit of paying honorable tribute to the men who navigated through the most frightening and claustrophobic channels of the Pacific theater. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> *Viewer Reviews* This film must be at the top of every submarine war movie lover's list. There are other fine films, but this is definitely the best. I have loved this film since I was a kid. How could it help but be the best with a cast that includes Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster.
