John Farrow directs a story and screenplay by Jonathan Latimer about a decision questioned for too long of a time. It is said that star William Holden put up $20,000 of his own money to see this film was made. Holden plays Lt. Commander Ken White, who under attack by Japanese fighters, orders his submarine to crash-dive while his commander is still topside on the deck. This decision not only torments and haunts White, he also loses a lot of respect of fellow submariners. Once again in his command, White must make another life or death decision.
A star-studded cast features: Nancy Olson, William Bendix, Jack Gregson, Peggy Weaver, Arthur Franz, Darryl Hickman, Jack Kelly and Jerry Paris.
