Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

This numbingly predictable war movie from director Paul Wendkos has a rather a misleading title, as much of the action takes place in a PoW camp. Cliff Robertson's submarine captain is one of the dullest heroes ever to turn the tables on his captors. There's plenty of square-jawed defiance, but not enough humanity to make us care whether he gets back to his commanders in time to report on Japanese shipping movements prior to the key 1942 battle. Gia Scala's Eurasian heroine is a mere cypher, but she's accorded more dignity than Teru Shimada, who is presented as a fanatical stereotype.
