| | Anonymous 03/16/2009 | I saw this movie for the first time last weekend. How refreshing to watch a real movie, no reality show, just a movie.
It was interesting and funny, you should watch. Kim Novak is beautiful and who doesnt' like Jimmy Stewart. |

Great special effects highlight this colorful sci-fi film about the shakedown cruise of the U.S.S. Seaview. The submarine's designer, U.S. Navy Admiral Harriman Nelson (Walter Pidgeon), is aboard, and, when a giant fire in the sky is spotted, Harriman, without permission, takes on the mission to knock out the fire that he believes threatens to destroy Earth. This decision causes conflict between Nelson and the Seaview's captain, Commander Lee Crane (Robert Sterling), as well as suspicions of psychiatrist Dr. Susan Hiller (Joan Fontaine) who questions Nelson's sanity. To make matters worse, there appears to be a saboteur aboard the Seaview.
