Men Without Women (1930)
A tale of a submarine that is damaged and stuck on the ocean floor with 14 crew members aboard, leading to a tense and well-written conclusion where the crew is eventually rescued.
A group of men die horribly, trapped in a submarine on the ocean floor. It may or may not be entertainment, and certainly it is pretty gruesome in spots. But "Men Without Women" earns very high rating because of its excellent John Ford direction, its stunning realism and the very fine performances of actors Kenneth McKenna and Frank Albertson. A finely done talkie.
