SUBSTANDARD BLU RAY TRANSFER BY KINO LORBER

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

I can’t believe how badly the transfer of this great movie into Blu Ray was. I had been waiting for this movie to be on Blu Ray, now it is and Kino Lorber totally messed it up. My copy of the DVD is far greater in any aspect…picture, clarify, sound, you name it. And oh my DVD also has subtitle options. Speaking of subtitles, I am beginning to notice, Kino Lorber is starting to remove subtitles on all their newly released classic Blu Rays. I used to complain about another company, Olive Films. This Olive company produces crystal clear Blu Ray transfers but they never ever had subtitles on the Blu Ray films and a lot of people were complaining about it. Until recently they probably heard peoples complains, Olive starting to add subtitles on their Blu Rays. Kino Lorber on the other hand, just about all their Blu Ray transfers are substandard to most company even from certain DVD copies…and now they are also removing their subtitles and their titles are also very expensive. Everytime I see an old title favorite is announced to be released in Blu Ray by Kino Lorber…I always say, why does it have to be them? Why can’t be Shout Company or Olive Films since they now include subtitles or other companies, but not Kino Lorber? What’s so bad is that KL get to transfer into Blu Rays most old favorite movies. I would really love to see Enemy Below blu ray transfer from Criterion or Shout or Twilight. Ah probably not in this lifetime.

"I don't want to know the man I'm... trying to destroy."

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

I had never heard of this film before, until I was reading an article about a Star Trek episode: "Balance of Terror." I love that particular episode - and as it were, for the same reasons I love this film. When I found out the inspiration for the ST episode, I finally was able to track down a copy of "The Enemy Below" to view (as well as seeing it on TCM a few times, I believe).

Like many great films set during war-time, this is more than a run of the mill bang-bang, shoot-'em-up battle-sequence. It examines the people involved in such action - putting a human face on war. and giving some insight into the psychological effects of battle. I would say, in terms of action, it would be between "Mister Roberts" and the earlier mentioned "The Longest Day."

Basically it's a deadly chess game with the various moves taken by two ships being countered almost perfectly by the opponent. And, though the crews may not know the reasoning behind each counter-move, a logical (I'm not sure about accuracy, but it sounded good) explanation normally is given - after the fact. Though casualties occur, such is the sad aspect of warfare. The important thing is each Captain is first and foremost aiming to complete his mission: The U-Boat to reach a rendezvous point, the Destroyer (having detected the U-Boat) attempting to prevent that by pursuing the enemy.

I have slowly become a Robert Mitchum fan. Though I really never thought of him in the same category as bigger name actors, every once in a while I've caught his performance (generally in a supporting role). I think the first time I really started to 'catch the bug' was seeing him in "The Longest Day." From that point on, I've really started to enjoy and appreciate his style. In this film, I love how Mitchum finally makes his appearance - disproving the crew's feeling that, being a new commander, he has no idea what to do. The way he calmly goes about making decisions which could easily result in their destruction - or 'losing' the scent of it's prey - is marvelous. Mitchum just projects what my idea of a military commander should look and sound like.

His counterpart, Curt Jürgens, is likewise a quite capable commander - doing his best to complete his mission, but ultimately reaching a point where confrontation is required. I personally enjoy how the film tries to show the difference between German military members, and flat-out Nazi sympathizers/proponents. Much like the Luftwaffe commander of the POW camp in "The Great Escape."

Bottom line: this is a very good military film - it has a nice mix of personal stories and backgrounds, battle scenes (as much as you can show between a surface ship and a U-Boat), and the concept of military strategy - an aspect not often shown at this level (the closest probably being some of the scenes in "Patton").

The Chase Is On!

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2017

One of the best naval WWII movies ever made!

Robert Mitchum plays a naval captain in the South Atlantic. After having lost his previous ship and forced to survive for weeks in the ocean, he's given another assignment due to the navy in desperate need of ship captains with combat experience.

Curt Jurgens is the German sub commander on mission to collect a code book from a German raider. His sub gets spotted by Mitchum's ship and the hunt is on! Mitchum has an advantage with the latest underwater detection, but Jurgens is a captain with experience from the 'old school' and makes the chase tough. The films shows friendships from both sides and it's good to see how the German characters despise the Fuhrer like so many actually did. It's full of suspense, action, drama, and a climactic ending.

Great Dick Powel directed film. A classic war film well done.

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

While other movies I purchased lately were made from new prints to make them clear and sharp, this DVD was made from an old print and it shows by way of lines and spots in the picture. Sound was good but picture could have been cleaned up better. Why buy a blu-ray when a regular DVD would have been just as good and cheaper.

One of my favorite all time movies, war genre or any other

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

My father introduced me to this movie in the early 80's when I was just an early teenager. This was one of his favorite movies, and it immediately became one of my favorite movies. Just last month I finally bought the book and read it, and it, too, was every bit as good. Having that as the source, it's no wonder they were able to make such a great movie.

Kurt (or Curt, depending on the source) Jurgens was phenomenal as the German submarine commander. He exuded that war weary captain angst perfectly. He looked the part, and every line he delivered was spot on. Robert Mitchum was equally excellent as the American destroyer commander. He had even broken his back during the filming and kept on filming.

The story of hunter and hunted is very well done. They keep switching from one aspect to another, from destroyer to sub, and you get to see the offensive and defensive moves from both, reacting to what the other is doing. Amazingly enough, they really kept to the original book quite a bit.

The cinematography is outstanding, especially considering what year this was made. And because of the year, it has an immediate, visceral feel to it because you know it's not all CGI and green screens. The Navy did a great job working with the filmmakers.

If you're at all a fan of naval warfare, or World War II, this movie should absolutely be in your collection.

Sink ye Bismarck!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

At present I'm giving this five stars for Sink The Bismarck alone, as I haven't watched the Mitchum movie (The Enemy Below) yet. Sink The Bismarck is strange in some ways: the whole Kenneth More character and plot line (with his Wren romance and worries about his serving son) is pure dramatic confection . But the historical part of the movie is, by and large, really very good. Yes there are historical inaccuracies, and license is taken with certain characters (Admiral Lutjens is ill served!), but overall and on balance history is pretty well respected. Having just watched Battle of the River Plate, in which a modern US ship stands in for Graf Spee, the models used in this are much more authentic and impressive. A fascinating and dramatic story brought to the big/little screen with great verve and panache.

Dr. Peter D. Wilson

A brilliant coupling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

The package combines two "naval hunt" films in a WW2 setting, one essentially historical, the other fictional. The first recounts the near-desperate British campaign to prevent the German super-battleship Bismarck from wreaking havoc among the crucial Atlantic supply convoys after it has already destroyed its most powerful opponent, with luck as an important contributor to eventual success. The fictional sub-plots involving the widowed Director of Operations, one concerning his only son briefly thought to have been lost in action, the other his increasing attraction to a WRNS assistant who has lost a fiance, are handled very discreetly and permit an up-beat conclusion where there might have been only a sombre contemplation of so much death and destruction on both sides, or worse, jubilation over a defeated but worthy enemy.

"The Enemy Below" is of course a German submarine hunted by a US destroyer in a cat-and-mouse duel in which both commanders come to respect each other's tactical skill. The hunt ends in mutual destruction of both vessels, nevertheless with a plausibly "feel-good" conclusion to the film.

A Salty Game of Chess!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

Just as I remembered it,this is a good movie,well put together technically,and with very competent performances by Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens as the two Captains trying to defeat each other,down in the South Atlantic during World War Two.However,
I'm still undecided about the way the film ends,just as I was thirty years ago,because while I know about the sometimes mentioned"Brotherhood of the Sea",has been known to overcome national enmities in extreme situations,I very much doubt that the events as characterized here,had any foundation in reality,the hatred and fear of submarine warfare was just too intense. Still,its a nice,treacly ending for a wet Sunday afternoons viewing,no bad language either,and Curt Jurgens final four words to Mitchum on the fantail of the destroyer,are memorable,and must have kept the director happy!

I am not sure I have enough fingers on my hands to count the times I have watched this film since the first time it came out.
It is a story of war, death and battles, but it is also a story of courage, respect and friendship. The acting is very good and the "locations" a battleship and a submarine in the middle of the ocean and yet it covers the world of people involved in the war, on death always not too far away, at a resolution that could be decided by the flip of a coin or the push of a button. Really a very good film.
