This movie has so many memories for me... NOT because of any connexion to submariners.
My Late Brother Bill started watching the German mini-series version on Christmas night 2009- MUCH TOO THE CHAGRIN OF HIS WIFE!
We stayed up until about 0300 watching it to the last bubble.
And my buddy Dehart had a cat who was dawdling getting up stairs so he yelled, " I Vant to see Steam coming out out your A$$!"
He also pronounced that it was NOT a good first date flick. It turned into their last date.
I saw it in the theatre as the American translated version and I felt shattered by the time it was done.
Great movie!
