The Frogmen (1951)
7/10
Underwater bravery.
27 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Lloyd Bacon directs this World War II drama with Richard Widmark in the lead role as Lt. Commander John Lawrence, who must earn the respect of a group of underwater demolition divers. The strict hard nosed Lawrence is replacing a popular senior officer that was very close to his men. He does manage to tighten up the already tight, but independently brave underwater warriors.

Exceptional photography with a well rounded cast to support Widmark. Also featured are veterans and fresh faces like: Gary Merrill, Jeffrey Hunter, Dana Andrews, JackWarden, Robert Wagner, James Gregory and Harvey Lembeck.
