Netflix has “Crash Dive” on DVD.

This may be the first of the big WWII submarine movies. Hollywood is not quite up to speed on life in the silent service yet. Sonar may be top-secret technology in 1943 but we are left wondering how both sides were able to find submerged submarines without it. Some of the Technicolor footage shot on location at the New London base is interesting.

Don’t miss the bonus music review on page 2. Olin Downes braves the teen-age mob to experience a Harry James concert.
