      Reviews 53% Audience Score 500+ Ratings Newly-stationed Lt. Cmdr. John Lawrence (Richard Widmark) takes over as leader of an elite team of Navy divers aboard a submarine in the Pacific during World War II. Gruff and confrontational, Lawrence isn't popular with the crew, especially after sending a team -- led by Jake Flannigan (Dana Andrews) -- out on a dangerous mission. But when a Japanese torpedo threatens the boat, Lawrence earns the respect of the crew by risking his life to save them. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Dec 13 Buy Now

      Steve D Not really my taste but effective. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Paul B Seriously outdated and slow going. Find something else to watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Ashley H The Frogmen is a decent film. It is about the new commander of a Navy Underwater Demolition Team. Richard Widmark and Dana Andrews give good performances. The script is a little slow in places. Lloyd Bacon did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the adventure and drama.
