Up Periscope

Saved Friday night. James Garner plays what amounts to a Navy SEAL sort, who has been assigned to slip into a Japanese-held island from which the enemy is transmitting, take pictures of their code, and slip out. He is transported on a submarine commanded by a hard-bitten (yet something of a sensitive soul of a) captain played by Edmond O'Brien. Everyone smokes. The medic is played by Ed Byrnes (Cookie of 77 Sunset Strip). The film works.
