Synopsis
Gable and Lancaster make the seas boil in the battle adventure that hits like a torpedo!
The captain of a submarine sunk by the Japanese during WWII is finally given a chance to skipper another sub after a year of working a desk job. His singleminded determination for revenge against the destroyer that sunk his previous vessel puts his new crew in unneccessary danger.

Review by Justin Peterson ★★★★ 2
Recommended by: Jarrett
In true Ahab like fashion, a WW2 sub commander becomes determined
to take control of the Pacific."A fleet boat of the Navy, a submarine with her fighting power still intact! And you'd take her back to Pearl? I don't believe it!"
It does not matter when they were made ... there is nothing like a great sub movie! And if you are a fan of 'Crimson Tide', then you should definitely check this similar early version of that story out.
(Quick Hits)
- Once I saw this had one of my favorite classic actors
Clark Gable along with Burt Lancaster, I knew I was in for a treat- While the special effects were not perfect…

Review by matt lynch ★★★½
Having not seen it in ages I'd forgotten not only how much CRIMSON TIDE lifts from this but also how much this lifts from Moby Dick, particularly in its establishment of character and situation through detail (and of course with its story of obsessive revenge). Spectacular miniature VFX.

Review by Blake Bergman "Various Spaghetti" ★★★★
"Run Silent, Run Deep" is a 1958 WWII film directed by Robert Wise. The film specifically takes a look at submarine warfare in the Pacific where Clark Gable is a U.S. Naval officer bent on revenge in taking out a Japanese Destroyer vessel that took out his prior submarine. Since the wreckage in which he narrowly escaped with his life, he has been stuck within an administrative role behind a desk. This hasn't stopped him from recanting the prior events over and over again on paper, something that he has studied and knows that he will surely win if he ever gets a return chance. Finally, he gets his return attempt at satisfying past events, but all this comes to…

Review by Josh Gillam ★★★★½
This excellent war thriller stars Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster in the story of a submarine commander during the Second World War who is obsessed with tracking down the Japanese ship that destroyed his last command, coming into conflict with his second in command.
Director Robert Wise creates a really tense atmosphere, making the audience feel as claustrophobic as the characters, as the mission becomes more and more dangerous. Lancaster worked well when he was partnered with another star (Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis), and really lets Gable shine, both actors giving top performances.
This is definitely one of the best submarine movies ever made, as its themes have been revisited by many successors, most notably the superb Crimson Tide, but it’s also a compelling thriller that I really enjoyed.

Review by Andy Summers 🤠 ★★★ 4
Even though I am a fan of war films, I find it challenging to engage with certain subgenres, particularly those involving submarines, warships, or the air force. I have a preference for films that focus on the battlefields of WWII Europe over the Pacific theatre, and I favour stories of infantrymen in trenches over naval or aviation spectacles. Following recommendations from my LB friends, Rick Burin and Ben (giant13), I decided to watch Robert Wise's Run Silent, Run Deep, which is considered the quintessential Clark Gable film. Despite my reservations about Burt Lancaster, with whom I've had a mixed experience, the fierce determination to upstage each other displayed by both these Hollywood icons truly enhances their performances.
I'm not familiar…

Review by AndrewC 🎃👻 ★★★★
From Run Silent, Run Deep, you can really see so much of the DNA of subsequent submarine movies that have been made (Crimson Tide being an especially obvious example) and it is itself also a rock-solid war film in its own right. This has all the hallmarks, set-ups, and dialogue of the subgenre and even in its infancy stage, it's all done with lots of tension and excitement squeezed into the fairly short runtime. Having fine actors like Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster also helps in that regard as their commanding performances contribute to Run Silent, Run Deep's status as a terrific blueprint for all submarine war films since its release.

Review by Josh Lewis ★★★
Fairly sturdy WWII submarine revenge drama with Clark Gable as the obsessive commander on the hunt for the Japanese destroyer who killed his previous crew and Burt Lancaster as his loyal executive officer who questions the intensely personal fixation of his superior but helps him see it through logistically anyway. Not a lot going on here you haven't seen before in a number of war films and I feel like the sweaty, tortured rage of it isn't as impassioned as it could be in the writing/performances but the FX work is solid and Robert Wise once again effectively shifts styles to suit the subject matter; adhering pretty strictly to the nuts-and-bolts machinery of the mission itself/torpedo strike sequencing in a way that's engaging enough and a clear precursor to a movie like Das Boot.

Review by MAGE ★★★ 9
Exceptionally well made, yet only moderately entertaining Submarine flick, with magnetic dueling lead performances from Lancaster and Gable. Plus, you get Brad Dexter a couple years before Magnificent Se7en, Don Rickles nowhere close to pulling off a tough-guy sleeveless look, and Jack Warden sporting the most hideously brutalist haircut you ever laid eyes on. The great Franz Waxman of Bride of Frankenstein fame provides a gripping, if underutilized score and the legendary Robert Weise directs with sturdy efficiency and technical mastery. This is jam-packed with excellent model and rear screen projection work. It seems like a great deal of effort went into evincing naval accuracy, as the Rear Admiral technical advisor in the credits attests. A solid, if unremarkable submarine/WW2 flick with the bare minimum of interpersonal drama necessary to hang its thematic hat on. Worth a watch.

Review by Amy Hensarling ★★★½ 7
Terrific. Lancaster, Gable, & Jack Warden team up to make Run Silent, Run Deep top shelf sensational. Robert Wise directed the heck outta this thing making it feel just as seat-edge tense as Crimson Tide and Moby Dick. Dialogue’s so lived-in accurate like Shelton’s Bull Durham with the most random wrenches thrown in threatening to tank the entire mission. Never been so stressed out not to know Morse Code. Bonafide blast to see Lancaster down below, as it were, learning a valuable lesson or two.
Bungo straits! Can’t resist. Never forget.

Review by pirateneckbeard ★★★★ 4
Robert Wise is one of the best versatile directors in the game and is very over looked compared to the auteurs that have been quite honestly over appraised to a certain extent by this reviewer. Any who on to the review. This story is smartly crafted with two solid leads and an armada of character actors with just the right amount of humour to make the poignant scenes sting with humanity. The claustrophobia of the submarine racked up the tension and you see where "Das Boot" got a lot of story elements from. There is so many character dynamics here that don't muddy the waters only enrich the plot. Oh and they did this all in a 90 minute running time!?! This was a lot of fun so glad I immersed myself in this material;)

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
“That’s not an advantage. Not in my book.”
“But you’re not the captain.”Despite not being the biggest Clark Gable fan, I find it quite fitting to find Clark Gable in director Robert Wise's tight and fierce WWII film made near the end of Gable's long career in Hollywood alongside co-star Burt Lancaster, himself a pillar of another generation of Hollywood. Gable notably served in the US Army Air Corps during the war, and while this is not a film relating to his missions in Nazi Germany, Gable is every inch the soldier and alongside Lancaster, the two make quite a pair (and are utterly convincing) in uniform. Richardson (Gable) and Bledsoe (Lancaster) are two hard-headed generals, one having suffered…

Review by RanchoTuVu ★★★½
Clark Gable's sub commander leading his crew on an unauthorized mission to avenge the sinking of his last sub to a Japanese destroyer in the Mungo Straits has elements of Humphrey Bogart's Capt. Queeg from "Caine Mutiny". With charismatic Burt Lancaster as the sub's executive officer, it's not an easy job for Gable's character as captain of the sub to win the men over, especially when they learn where he's taking them, and then begin to understand why he's taking them there, to risk their lives to settle his own personal score. But it isn't really entirely personal because getting rid of that Japanese destroyer, which is sort of the cinematic equivalent of the Bismarck, will make it possible for…
