Title: Help with movie ID Post by: ulthar on May 02, 2006, 07:52:20 PM I remember seeing this one several times when I was kid. It may have been a made-for-TV-movie, and it would have been out in the mid-late 70's.
A small 2 or 3 man sub, the Sea Bat iirc, is exploring a shipwreck. On board the sub's support ship, the Swan, is a famous singer (I think, though he not have been) and his girl friend. The singer talks the sub crew into taking him down and the sub's propeller gets tangled in a cable in the shipwreck. Several attempts to rescue to the sub, and her crew, fail. The dialogue I remember is "Swan to Sea Bat, Swan to Sea Bat" throughout the numerous rescue attempts. And I remember the girl crying at the end when the sub is finally brought to the surface. I know it is reminiscent of GRAY LADY DOWN and the time frame is about right, but I don't think that is it. I specifically remember the cause of the sub being 'down' that a cable wrapped around the propeller. Any ideas?

Title: Re: Help with movie ID Post by: ulthar on May 05, 2006, 09:02:51 PM Thanks! The IMDB description is not super informative, but it does ring a bell. And, if this is it, it answers a question I've had for about 30 years: was it a true story? (yes).
Thanks again. :) Title: Re: Help with movie ID Post by: Shadowphile on May 06, 2006, 09:52:45 AM I looked it up on IMDB with the keyword 'mini sub'.....
