Classic Nostalgia!
"UP PERISCOPE" by Robb White was one of the first novels I bought and read as a kid in the late 1960's. I loved the story, and have not seen the movie until now. I enjoyed the movie thoroughly! Although a little 'campy' and 'corny' as WWII movies were in the 50's & 60's it was still great fun. Alan Hale aka "The Skipper" from Gilligan's Island as Pat Malone, was a joy to watch, and his lines were comical and well-delivered. The FX were as expected - acceptable for the time, except it appears they borrowed underwater scenes with the sub gliding past from other movies - which showed a different & earlier class (model) of US Submarines than the Balao Class, the USS Barracuda was supposed to be in the movie. All in all, Fun, Suspenseful and Enjoyable !!!
