Torpedo RunAs if the atomic atrocities at Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't enough, Hollywood took its own, less devastating, revenges for the attack on Pearl Harbour. This underwater war flick - a sweatily effective thick ear from Pevney, a former nightclub singer and action-adventure veteran - is a superior example of the type. Ford is sturdily efficient as the speechifying captain, intent on destroying a Japanese aircraft carrier sitting in Tokyo Bay; Borgnine is the pop-eyed salt-of-the-earth type with his finger on the button. A nicely-turned action thriller without an idea in its head, conducted, inevitably, in a fug of racism and ideological self-importance.
