| User ReviewJeffrey SIf you like wartime submarine movies, you will love this excellent pre-code (pre-censorship) film starring Robert Montgomery and Walter Huston, that takes place in 1918, near the end of World War I (filmed only 15 years after the time of the film!). It' "pre-code" so you will hear talks of sex, a suicide, a forbidden romance, blood, and more! In other words, a more realistic look at life than the Hays code prudes would force on films just a year later. Hell Below is exciting, dramatic, and very suspenseful. It is right up there with the best submarine films, including Das Boot. Very good movie. You will see a relatively young Walter Huston and also Jimmy Durante. Well worth watching, and not dated at all. |
| User ReviewAllan CMost submarine films are set during WWII, so this one gets some added points of interest for being a WWI sub film. There's captain Walter Huston clashing with office Robert Montgomery and the usual on-shore comedy and romance. It's all pretty standard submarine film fare, but it's well done and actually more effective than many of the submarine films that would follow. There's also a very young Robert Young, of "Father Knows Best" fame. |
