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 Run Silent, Run Deep 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 Das Boot and especially Crimson Tide, which borrows liberally from this 1958 film. 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 West Side Story), 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, Run Silent, Run Deep 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. --Jeff Shannon
Description
"Rich" Richardson (Clark Gable) is a hard-driving, dedicated submarine officer with a single-mindedpurposeto 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. "Severely, nail-bitingly tense" (The New York Times), Run Silent, Run Deep is the most exciting film about the "silent service" ever made.

 Best Damn Submarine Movie Ever! November 26, 2008
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.

A WW2 Submarine Classic October 7, 2008
This classic film features two strong leading men - Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster - in a realistic submarine movie. Lancaster was a producer on the project and pursued realism and authenticity in the production. Both men are tough and equally clear about their mission. For Gable, a captain whose former command was sunk, his focus is to sink the famed and fast Akikaze Japanese destroyer that can only be sunk with a dangerous bow shot. Otherwise, it's not in position long enough to hit. For Lancaster, the trust and care of his men (not unlike Gable's desire to avenge the death of his men) is a preeminent concern.
Gable and Lancaster are at their finest in this film. In addition, such stalwart actors as Brad Dexter, Jack Warden and a comedic Don Rickles round out the cast.
 GREAT MOVIE!! October 1, 2008
My family and i really enjoyed this movie. I know you've heard it; "they don't make them like that anymore". These were truly the greatest generation. Oh yea, and thank you Amazon for carrying it and shiping it so fast.
"Silent, But Deadly" September 9, 2008
One of the most suspensfully intense movies ever made. Gable and Lancaster are perfect in their roles, and there is a great supporting cast. The eerie sounds of the sonar equipment and the feeling of claustrophobia in the interior of the submarine add to the intensity. If you have never seen this great WWII flick, you should add it to your viewing plans.
