Das Boot
"The Boat" is a 1981 German submarine movie......When it was
dubbed into English and released in American theaters some 26
years ago it was a "hit" and won many awards........Due to its
popularity it was also "cut up" and expanded into a 6 part
mini-TV series for the German TV market in 1984.......
I like submarine movies...There are the batch of US made WWII
movies made in black and white and color......Then there are the
more recent Crimson Tide (leadership conflict) and Hunt For
Red October (search and destroy) movies.....But Das Boot is an
everyday story of living and fighting in an underwater craft.....
No great plot line, just "day-in and day-out" life.......
My VHS copy is excellently dubbed......I know that this movie
has been expanded and released on DVD (remember the
mini-TV series).......It is worth a look, if you can find it with
a dubbed English voice tract or if you speak German, its
original filmed language........Pumps
