Customer Rating: Summary: An Underrated Submarine Film Comment: Up Periscope is a a World War II film with James Garner. Garner's mission is to infiltrate a Japanese held island to get a secret code book. He's under a lot of pressure and the submarine commander, a tough Edmond O'Brien, is a no nonsense commander. Garner is going in - alone - and unsure whether or not O'Brien is going to wait for him past his deadline. You can see why Garner became a movie star. His dashing good lucks and onscreen presence is strong. In addition, there are a few film stalwarts among the crew such as Alan Hale Jr. and a young Warren Oates.
Customer Rating: Summary: Up Periscope Comment: Dear Amazon:)
"Up Periscope", was a very good WWII movie in it's true era. The acting and the script show how life was then and the mindset of the movie going audience. So good to see old actors who have long passed on; a very enjoyable war movie and nice color.

Customer Rating: Summary: OK Comment: As an old diesel submarine officer collecting old diesel submarine movies, I enjoyed this one I had missed. Customer Rating: Summary: ALAN HALE WHO? Comment: Robert Horton is mistaken. Alan Hale Jr. was not in Destination Tokyo, That was his father Alan Hale Senior. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Sunday Afternoon Movie Comment: Great movie for a Sunday afternoon. James Garner's acting is what you would expect from an excellant actor. The Skipper (Alan Hale Jr.) was also a pleasure, even though he plays a fun loving Officer.
