It's hard not to judge a film made 60 years ago against today's standards. I saw this film on DVD but it's obvious that the film had degraded before it was put on disk. Even at that, the film still can be called good (not great, however). The sound quality is not very good and, as another reviewer stated, the English accents are very thick. As an American, it takes me a few minutes to learn to properly "hear" those accents. Once that's accomplished, what you have is a pretty decent old flick. It's the story of a British submarine and the men aboard her who go on a mission that very well may be their last. The story may seem a bit old-fashioned by today's standards, but it's overall a pretty decent flick. The main star is John Mills, one of the great British actors of all time.
