Run Silent, Run Deep (1958), Director: Robert Wise, Running time: 93 minutes.
"Rich" Richardson (Clark Gable) is a hard-driving, dedicated submarine officer with a single-minded purpose to seek out and smash the Japanese destroyer he believes sank his former ship. Given a new command, Richardson drills his men to the point of mutiny as he relentlessly trains them for the battle ahead. At last, word comes of the destroyer's position, and, disobeying orders, Richardson finally confronts his foe, unaware that an even greater enemy lurks nearby...one who's been targeting him for a watery grave. Co-starring Burt Lancaster as Gable's executive officer, this gripping WWII adventure-thriller set a new standard for submarine pictures.
