One Wonders What Genius made the Decision to utilize the "New Toy" in Town "Cinemascope" for a "Submarine" Movie.
But the Real Pulp Genius is Sam Fuller who manages to Always be Over-the-Top with His Characters, Plot, and Dialog.
He Makes it Work on a Juvenile Level.
If You Want a more Adult, Serious, Cold-War Thriller from Fuller, See "Pickup on South Street" (1952). A B-Movie Masterpiece. It also Stars Richard Widmark.
Here We get a Civilian Conglomerate of Anti-Reds Willing to Invest Life, Limb, and Fortune Financing a Submarine Mission to Uncover Communist Playing with the A-Bomb.
It's All Out of Orbit Absurdity of the Pulp-Fiction Kind with a Knock-Out Beauty Scientist On Board the Sub to Boot.
What a Hoot.
It's Entertaining as All-Get-Out with some Good Battle Scenes and Two, count-em, Atomic Explosions that Book-End this Novelty Piece.
Worth a Watch for the Sam Fuller Touch, the Mesmerizing Face of Bella Darvi, and for some Fun-Stuff of the Sub at War Variety.
