Enjoyable and entertaining film with a strong likable cast. The story is not for people who like to over-think things. It's one of those movies you have to sit back and enjoy for what it is: a silly sci-fi adventure about a crew aboard a super submarine that are out to save the world. Vets Walter Pidgeon, Peter Lorre and Joan Fontaine are all immensely enjoyable. Movie stars back in the day had a certain something extra I think. Speaking of Joan Fontaine, one thing I don't see mentioned enough here is how lovely she looks at this point in her career, well past her leading lady days. Another beauty is Barbara Eden, one of the prettiest actresses of her era. She doesn't get a lot to work with but she does fine. The only character I found myself disliking was Lee Crane (Robert Sterling). His seeming failure to grasp the situation at hand and gripe over every decision Admiral Nelson made was a little annoying. But this was more of a problem with the script than Sterling's acting. Anyway, this is a fun, colorful movie I would recommend to anyone whose rear is sans stick.
