Every so often, YouTube Movies does something incredibly cool, and this time around, they’ve released Robert Wise’s 1958 classic submarine movie [u]Run Silent, Run Deep[/u] staring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. Robert Wise is one of my favorite directors because there wasn’t a genera he didn’t do. He started as an editor on Citizen Kane, directed The Sand Pebbles, West Side Story, The Day The Earth Stood Still (the great one), Sound of Music, The Haunting (again, the good one), The Andromeda Strain (again, the good one), and next year Paramount is finally spending the money they should have in 1999 to make a 4K UHD transfer of his director’s cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Here’s the Youtube description of this movie and I hope you all enjoy it.
quote:
In this powerful; classic military drama; Rich Richardson (Clark Gable; "The Misfits") is a hard-driving; dedicated submarine officer with a single-minded purpose - to seek out and smash the Japanese destroyer he believes sunk his former ship. Given a new command; Richardson drills his men and first officer Jim Bledsoe (Burt Lancaster; "Elmer Gantry") to 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 and even greater enemy lurks nearby - one who's been targeting him for a watery grave. Directed by Robert Wise; the legendary director of "West Side Story;" with a stellar supporting cast headed by Jack Warden; Brad Dexter and Don Rickles.
