It seemes strange seeing the Gainsborough lady smiling at us before the film starts, since it's far from the overwrought melodramas which the studio's name was soon to become synonymous. It's also the nearest to a conventional war film made by director Anthony Asquith, whose action was usually interior rather than as bellicose as it is here; although again, the film is most engrossing when confined to the interior of the submarine.
