Hi,
We Dive at Dawn - the late John Mills in a sub movie
From the radio times
Compare this tense British study of submarine warfare with Crash Dive, a Hollywood picture on the same topic made in the same year. We Dive at Dawn, directed by Anthony Asquith, is packed with incident (as a determined crew pursues a Nazi battleship across the Baltic) and credible characters, played by the likes of John Mills and Eric Portman, who remain human for all their quiet heroism. In comparison, Archie Mayo's brash flag-waver Crash Dive paid more attention to a mindless romantic triangle than to the perils posed by the enemy and the long uncertain hours in cramped conditions, yet was a box-office hit. Funny things, movie audiences.
