Here's the greatest sea-thriller of them all!" about an older man and a younger man who are enemies, but when they end up serving together in the Navy in World War I on the same boat, they manage to put aside their differences to work shoulder to shoulder to stop the German U-boats; while the movie took place in World War I, it was obviously intended to stir up U.S. patriotism against Germany just before World War II, and no doubt it was very successful doing so!) starring Wallace Beery, Chester Morris, Virginia Grey, Douglass Dumbrille, and Carl Esmond NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
