I love this movie for two reasons:
1) It causes me to relive my submarine war patrols in WWII. 2) It's a typical John Wayne movie.
It would probably not excite a viewer who does not care for John Wayne or war movies, but for anyone who participated in WWII in submarines, it's a must have.
For the current generation, it would be worthwhile just to get the feel of how things were in those days. For many of my vintage, watching this movie over and over, as I do, is a priceless reminder of those days when a few did so much for so many.
