TWO MAN SUBMARINE This is another of the seemingly endless supply of cheap wartime spy thrillers that were put out by most of the Hollywood studios.This $49.99 special was put out by the B-unit at Columbia Pictures and stars, Tom Neal and Ann Savage. They are the heroes of the story as they spoil an evil Axis plot.Neal and Savage are part of a group working on a new secret anti-toxin drug. Of course the only supply for the compound,is an island behind Japanese lines. Needless to say someone in the group is a spy. But who? The suspects include the doctor, the guards and a shipwrecked sailor.The cast also includes, J. Carrol Naish, Abner Biberman and Geroge Lynn. The director was quickie specialist, Lew Landers. Landers helmed 160 plus films and TV series in a 30 year career. In 1944 alone he cranked out 9 films.Tom Neal and Ann Savage would later star in one of the best low-budget film noir ever, Detour. This particular film however, is a low budget time-waster that has not aged well.
