The Atomic Submarine is a 1959 independent American black-and-white science-fiction film directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet and starring Arthur Franz, Dick Foran, Brett Halsey, Joi Lansing and Jean Moorhead, with John Hilliard as the voice of the alien. The film was produced by Alex Gordon and distributed by Allied Artists Pictures Corporation.

Production

Producer Alex Gordon had just left AIP after a dispute over casting Audrey Totter in Jet Attack. He sold his next film Life in Danger to Allied Artists. Steve Broidy of Allied agreed to provie 60% of the budget for Atomic Submarine if Gordon could find the remainder. Gordon had registered the title in August 1958.

Gordon wanted John Agar to play the lead but only had $1,500 and Agar would not reduce his price. The producer says Steve Brody insisted on a monster and that there was Navy co-operation.

Principal photography for The Atomic Submarine started 18 June 1959 and took six days. Stock footage of submarines and ship explosions were interspersed with other shots.
