Fairly decent Italian anti-war film. Worth watching on a wet day with a hangover.
Well depicted odyssey about a Submarine Commandanti and his crew along with people he picked up . During WWII, handsome young Italian sub commander (Renato Baldini of Four ways out , The wayward wife) and his crew (chubby Folco Lulli , Aldo Bufi Landi as Lieutenant and Bellini as officer) torpedo Allied freighters and transport ships for the Axis then rescue the occasional survivors (such as Jose Jaspe , Earl Cameron and a woman , Lois Maxwell , famous James Bond's Moneypenny) and treat them humanely while seeking a safe place to put them ashore .
SUBMARINE ATTACK is an Italian WW2 film which unusually features Italians playing their own nationality. This is completely unlike the glut of WW2-themed B-movies that Italy would produce in the late 1960s in which Italian actors were pretending to be either British or American and thus on the side of the Allied forces.
