Lloyd Bacon's

"The Frogmen"

Starring: Richard Widmark, Dana Andrews, Gary Merrill

The film is based on some United States frogman operations against the Japanese Army and naval forces in World War II. It was the first such movie about scuba diving and became a popular cultural hit. The film opens with this written statement: "This is a true story based on incidents which occurred in the latter part of World War II. It deals with one of the most hazardous and unique branches of the Armed Forces - the Underwater Demolition Teams.

During World War II, in the South West Pacific theatre, Lt. Cmdr. John Lawrence (Richard Widmark), a strict disciplinarian, is put in charge of the elite U.S. Navy unit UDT-4 after their former leader, Lt. Cmdr. Jack Cassidy, is killed. The men are distrustful of the standoffish Lawrence, and the relationship immediately takes a turn for the worse when Lawrence berates them for brawling with sailors aboard their transport. The ship's captain, Lt. Cmdr. Pete Vincent (Gary Merrill), advises Lawrence to go easier on the men, who are often sent on dangerous complicated missions to clear landing sites of underwater obstacles. Lawrence refuses to indulge the team, however, and earns their enmity when he splits up the platoon for a reconnaissance mission, putting edgy Chief Jake Flannigan (Dana Andrews) in charge of the more dangerous side of the enemy-held island.

During the mission, whose objective is to ascertain the most favorable area of the island for the landing of U.S. forces, Lawrence cuts his leg on coral, and one of the pick-up boats receives a direct hit from artillery. Lawrence sees that Flannigan and Kinsella, a wounded combat swimmer from the destroyed boat, are still in the water, but rather than risk loss of the information he has already gathered, he orders his boat to return to the main ship. A rescue boat succeeds in picking up the embittered Flannigan and Kinsella, but Lawrence's seemingly heartless action increases the men's ill will toward him. Flannigan and some of the others request transfers to another unit, but Lawrence insists that they complete the next day's mission to clear the landing site for the invasion...
