Brand new factory sealed dvd comes in the gatefold snapcase edition that is no longer being manufactured. This has the chapter stops and a movie still printed on the inside card cover. It was filmed in glorious black white and in a full screen aspect ratio which is the way it was originally shown in theatres. Perfect for old school tube TVs as the image will fill your square screen. The USS Thunderfish successfully completes a secret mission to rescue a group of orphans on a remote Pacific island. On the way back to Honolulu they encounter a Japanese aircraft carrier but the torpedoes they fire explode about half-way to their target, a recurring problem that has plagued the submarine fleet for some time. The Thunderfish's Executive Officer, Duke Gifford (Wayne) runs into his ex-wife and Navy nurse Mary Stuart (Patricia Neal) at the hospital. There's still a spark between them but the boat is sent out on another mission before anything is resolved. When Gifford's good friend and captain, Pop Perry (Ward Bond), is killed, Gifford believes it's his fault. An inquiry clears him and after he and his men solve the problem of the misfiring torpedoes, they set out to sea.
