Run Silent, Run Deep (1958, b/w) Film4, 2.40pm ★★★★

This shimmeringly tense Second World War drama concentrates on the rivalry between a US Navy submarine commander (Clark Gable) and an insubordinate officer (Burt Lancaster). The setting revels in the claustrophobic tension of 40 fathoms down and below-decks rivalries are broilingly played out. Based on Edward L Beach’s novel, it’s Moby Dick by way of Mutiny on the Bounty.
