How come they were allowed to make a film in colour in 1943? Because this is a massive ad for the US Navy.
Somewhat reluctantly, Tyrone Power gets posted to submarine command under experienced Dana Andrews. Of course they are soon buddies. But unfortunately Power has met-cute and fallen for Anne Baxter, not knowing she's Andrews' girlfriend.
An exciting and colourful action scene shot by Leon Shamroy winds things up.
It was written by Jo Swerling from a W.R. Burnett story and made by Fox.
Supporting cast: James Gleason, Dame Mae Whitty, Harry Morgan, and Ben Carter, who sadly died in 1946 from diphtheria, having been a successful talent agent for African-American actors.
