"It is made bearable only by the fact that Robert was serving his country and was performing a duty which he believed in, completely and deeply," Wise said in a written statement. "I am so very proud of him and I am so very proud to be his mother."

Wise is brilliant at keeping the adrenalin pumping even as he creates what is essentially a dual character study. "Rich" Richardson (Clark Gable, in one of his last and best performances) is a dedicated but overbearing submarine captain with a single-minded purpose: seek out and obliterate the Japanese destroyer he blames for the deaths of his previous crew. Given a new command with a first officer (Burt Lancaster) who sees their mission very differently, Richardson relentlessly drills his men to the point of mutiny, even as he forces them to scour the Pacific in search of his foe. At last, they find the destroyer. Disobeying orders, Richardson heads straight for his adversary, unaware that an even greater enemy lurks nearby.
