| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDavid N. ButterworthLess "the thundering story of the mighty bring-'em-out-alive mission of the USS Poe," and more a character study of a conflicted man of faith. And in that latter regard, "The Deep Six" succeeds. |
| User ReviewAshley HDeep Six is a horrible film. It is about the conflict of duty and conscience of a naval gunnery officer. There was no action and the conflicts were not well dramatized. Alan Ladd did not put much effort into this role even though I liked him in the movie Shane. The script is dull and boring. Rudolph Maté did a terrible job with directing this movie. I would not recommend this motion picture. |
