Commando dans la mer du Japon (1957) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 1957, Commando dans la mer du Japon is a thriller, drame and guerre film directed by Nathan Juran, running about 82 minutes. “Down . . . Down . . . Down . . . into enemy waters with the fightin' hellcats of the U.S. sub pack !” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Future "first couple" Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis made their only joint film appearance in Hellcats of the Navy. Ronnie plays Casey Abbott, commander of a WW2 submarine, while Nancy portrays navy nurse Helen Blair, Abbott's off-and-on girlfriend. During a delicate mission in which his sub is ordered to retrieve a revolutionary new Japanese mine, Abbott is forced to leave frogman Wes Barton (Harry Lauter) behind to save the rest of his crew. But Abbott's second-in-command Don Landon (Eduard Franz) is convincing that Abbott's sacrifice of Barton was due to the fact that the dead man had been amorously pursuing Helen.
