Tungkol sa pelikulang ito

The Enemy Below is an even-handed study of submarine warfare (during WWII) from the vantage point of both sides. The captain of an American destroyer, despite having lost his family in the war, endeavors to let his head rule his heart in combat.  He encounters a German U-boat commander as honorable and compassionate as himself. The two men develop a grudging respect for one another as they pursue one another throughout the North Atlantic.  Both vessels are destroyed; several days after the battle, the two men meet one another face to face for the first time, and chivalrously exchange salutes.

Superb tactical undersea and above the waves drama pitting men and machines against one another. You could almost forget whose side was allied and whose side was axis. The acting was quality, top to bottom. I have seen this movie more than any other motion picture that comes to mind at this moment. Perhaps, A Bronx Tale might give it a run!

Well acted War Movie Cat and Mouse Battle of Minds Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens also good supporting Acting !!

My all time WW2 Action Naval movie! Both actors great performances! Superb plot and character development!
