1957 movie about an American Destroyer and a German U-Boat in WWII. Playing suspense filled cat and mouse games for about a 100 minutes. Robert Mitchum plays the US Skipper. I’m partial to WWII movies about the Navy. This ain’t Pearl Harbor but the action and acting are outstanding. My favorite WWII movie for decades. Worth seeing.
