1950s were the „golden age” of Hollywood
in every single genre it tackled with. It was also the period of transition to
technicolor and more modern visual effects that enabled some more realistic
action sequences to be filmed.
All of those elements combined together
gave some quality war flicks, „The enemy below” being one of them. Nazi U-boat
terror form the deep during Second World War forms the script with a strong
acting rivalry between Robert Mitchum and Curd Jurgens. The game of cat and
mouse will sharpen along the way leading to a already seen ultimate clash
between the US escort destroyer and German submarine.
On the downside, subplots and outcome
will form a cliche, spiced up with some medium strength patheticism.
„The enemy below” is a solid war
thriller, but also something already seen at the time being.
