Sinopsis: En las postrimerías de la Primera Guerra Mundial, una "Misteriosa Nave" de EEUU zarpa rumbo a la costa de España remolcando a un submarino. Su misión es encontrar y hundir un U-Boat que ha sido especialmente eficaz atacando el comercio Aliado. Camuflado como un inofensivo balandro, la nave misteriosa posee en realidad un formidable cañón capaz de hundir al U-Boat.
Deteniéndose en las Islas Canarias para repostar, la tripulación interactúa con autóctonos implicados con los alemanes y con los mismos alemanes, entre ellos la hermana del Comandante del U-Boat, que está lurqueando subrepticiamente tierra adentro a la espera de la batalla venidera.
A MISTERY SHIP
A highly fictional conception of the fighting between mystery ships and submarines during the World War is now on exhibition at the Roxy. It is called "Seas Beneath," and while it has its surprising and mayhap unconsciously amusing moments for officers and men of Uncle Sam's Navy, its melodramatic incidents and voluble comedy afforded entertainment at an early showing yesterday.
It is not a picture to be taken very seriously, so far as war activities are concerned, for no mystery ship could ever have survived long in such circumstances. All its action is theatric in the extreme, without much thought being given to the necessary conduct aboard such craft, as revealed in Admiral Gordon Campbell's book, "My Mystery Ships."
It rather reminds one of an Edgar Wallace melodrama with the sea instead of the land for a background. Yet it is endowed with competent acting, excellent photography and some compelling scenes of submarines and ships.
George O'Brien impersonates Commander Robert Kingsley of the United States Navy. He is the skipper of a mystery ship which eventually puts into a neutral port, where German U-boat officers succeed in gaining admittance. Marion Lessing portrays Anna-Maria Yon Steuben, a German agent, who is eager to have the American vessel sunk by her brother's submarine. In the course of the adventures ashore, one of the American officers is drugged and he misses his ship. He covers himself with glory, however, before he is shot, by setting fire to a German craft.
Commander Kingsley has his "panic" crew, most of whom get away from their ship in a boat while others make spectacular dives into the sea. Kingsley awaits the submarine with his special crew around him instead of having them at their posts. But when the time comes for sinking the U-172, the mystery ship is successful, with, if memory serves correctly, one shot.
Although it has not the reprehensible actions or the bickering rivals of "The Cock-Eyed World," this melodrama sometimes recalls that film of the past.
George O'Brien does quite well. Walter C. Kelly figures as Mike Costello, who takes war in a humorous fashion. Henry Victor gives a good performance as a German submarine commander.
As a tribute to the memory of the late Anna Pavlowa, there is an impressive number on the surrounding program called "The Dancer." "Winter Gaieties" is another colorful contribution to this section of the program.
