Above Us the Waves (1955)
Director: Ralph Thomas
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Lamentable World War II heroics, told in muddled, would-be semi-documentary style, with the 'Tirpitz' sunk in a flood of stiff upper lips. Mills is the commander sending his midget submarines out into the studio tank.Author: TM
