Editorial Review:
Description:
It's Mitchum vs. Jurgens as the commanders of an American destroyer and a German U-boat play a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Amazon.com:
In The Enemy Below Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens are respectively captains of a U.S. destroyer and a German U-boat whose vessels come into conflict in the South Atlantic. Both are good men with a job to do, the script noting Jurgens' distaste for Hitler and the Nazis and engaging our sympathy with the German sailors almost as much as the Americans. Made at the height of the cold war of the 1950s, the film delivers a liberal message of co-operation wrapped inside some spectacular action scenes and a story which builds to a tense and exciting, moving finale. --Gary S. Dalkin

Rating:  - The Enemy Below
A lot of World War II movies show how it was for U.S. Subs during that War. The Enemy Below reverses the normal and gives a look at the enemy in a sub being chased by an American Ship. It isn't the expected outcome but the action is good and the acting superb! It's a great movie.
Rating:  - The other side of the coin
Every submarine movie has the same things in it. Rig for silent running, the water leak that a crewman get under control by turning a valve, depth charges, emergency lighting, open outer torpedo tubes one and two, take her up to periscope depth, etc. Your always in the submarine lurking, surviving.
Not in this one. Your the guy on top. You are the guy on the surface ship and are one cool customer. Everybody is a good guy in this one just doing their job. I like this movie.
Rating: - don't want to sub-stitute my thoughts
Many other reviewers also like this movie,and those reviewers in the top 500 have done a fine job in explaining the mind games that go on between the two captains and in explaining why those reviewers (and I) like this movie a lot.May I add that this movie also provides a nice look at the boredum, excitement, and I-need-to-do-my-duty that the crews experience. It's a viewing experience that immerses you in the situation, makes you believe it and live it, and you want to keep watching--nuff said. ... Read More
Rating: - The Enemy Below
Great war movie showing that there are no victors in war and that men can still be humane even under the most difficult of circumstances.
Rating: - Classic
They don't make them like this anymore! Great move and great transfer to DVD. The special effects are showing their age, but hey, it was made in 1957. Actually, the special effects are the only part of the film that has not aged well. I was surprised by the fact that the only Oscar the film won was for special effects!! Oh how times have change! Now the effects are stunning but the acting is bland.
