Search - Up Periscope

Lt. (jg) Ken Braden (James Garner) is a US Navy frogman and underwater demolitions expert who is assigned to a vital mission, and to a submarine captained by Commander Stevenson Edmond O'Brien. But Stevenson is a CO who may have seen too many men die -- the two immediately come into conflict over Braden's presence on the boat and his mission, a top secret foray into Japanese waters that jeopardizes the boat. The captain, in his strict adherence to regulations, makes it as difficult as possible for Braden to carry out his assignment, and Braden doesn't make matters easier between them by speaking his mind. And the crew's low morale only makes matters worse as the voyage progresses and the dangers around them mount. ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide

Warner Home Video has released Gordon Douglas's Up Periscope as a DVD, with no special features except for the original trailer. The Warnerscope movie, however, is fully letterboxed (2.35-to-1) and does offer a clean, bright transfer, in rich color, with good, loud sound (the better to appreciate the action scenes when they start) as well. The 111 minute movie has also been encoded with a generous 28 chapters. ~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide
