    One of the actors switched from the Navy to the Army for "The Battle of the Bulge" twenty years later.

    It might have been too obscure a quote.
    The US submariners pulled the old trick of pumping out fuel oil to make the enemy on the surface think they had been hit.
    The evil German Q-ship commander rubbed his hands when he saw the oil slick and said, "Oil! Wunderbar!"

    Always like that line.

    Next question is open for anyone to post.

    Opps.

    I had pasted the movie poster into my last post but it isn't appearing there now.

    It was Crash Dive with Tyrone Power, Dana Andrews and Anne Baxter

    Never saw that one before.

    Nobody guessed it so go again.

    "The Longest Day". Saw it a few weeks ago during the Veteran's Day Marathon.

    Since you like submarine movies, here's one for you;

    "Two small freighters. We had hard luck".

    That's a tough one. I'll guess "Run Silent, Run Deep"

    Nope.

    Hint #1: The movie was made during the war, in 1945. It really wasn't a submarine movie, but had a submarine in it.

    One of the Dirty Dozen. Fess Parker's character?

    Close enough.

    It was "Posey" in the Dirty Dozen but he wasn't played by Fess Parker. :)

    You're up.

    It was Clint Walker

    First Soldier - Becket?
    Second Soldier - He's wounded, sir.
    Third Soldier - He's dying, sir. It's bad.
    First Soldier - sotto voce - Keep your voices down.

    It is not a WWII movie.

    I edited and added some stage direction to maybe help out.

    I'll have to confer with my associate and see if you will be granted a special dispensation...
