Up Periscope (1959)
7/10
Worth watching over.

It is 1942. Commander Paul Stevenson (Edmond O'Brien) has a reputation for being so cautious that some of the crew thinks that equates to chicken. James Garner (Lt. Ken Braden). Submarine frog man, is about to test that caution with his life. Lt. Braden has a mission that is bordering on endangering the SUB.

Of course, there is a love interest as it is mandatory for many submarine movies,

This is based on a book by the same name that was written by Robb White. The actual scrip was written by Richard Landau.

The bulk of the movie is the stress and interaction between the commander and LT and the crew that thinks the commander is chicken.

You may have heard the story before but this is a very good version. So, do not try to compare to other sub movies as the stories are different.
