傑作舞台劇＠ベトナム戦争
人種、セクシュアリティそして勿論戦争をテーマとした、全編バラックの内部だけで繰り広げられる息詰まるような舞台劇。
劇中酔いどれ上官２人が歌う「beautiful streamers」－落下傘が開かずになすすべなく落ちていく兵士を歌った歌がせつなく、この２時間のドラマを象徴している。

ゲイのリッチー役の青年が魅力的！と思ったら、彼は後に「ウェディングバンケット」でサイモンを演じるんですね。（リキテンスタインの息子とは！）マシュー・モディンの生硬で、ある意味普通の若者っぽい雰囲気も痛いくらいぴったり。見終わって明るくなる映画ではないが、楽しさばかりを求めない人にはおすすめ。

"Welcome Aboard"
For the Navy this is a test of defenses. For Lieutenant Commander Thomas 'Tom' Dodge (Kelsey Grammer) this is a test of mettle. For Lieutenant Emily Lake (Lauren Holly) it is a test of form. And for each of the crew it is the test of only that which they are capable of performing.

Yes now in the days where anyone can get his or her hands on low tech equipment, such as diesel subs, is our high tech defenses ready. Look what happened to Argentina when their submarine broke?

Rear Admiral Yancy Graham (Bruce Dern) is betting his reputation of the readiness if the Navy and will go to any length to make sure the intrusion test fails.

Now that you know the story, It's not the contest but how the people interact under stress. They did not let any submarine cliche out of this picture. Even the nervy "lets see what depth this will take" scene.

Look for my three favorite scenes:
When Admiral Graham is welcomed aboard he looks and says “What is that supposed to mean!”
Lieutenant Lake being almost out of uniform.
Executive Officer Martin Pascal is forced to walk the plank.
