Curiosità

U-Boat Prisoner, also known as Dangerous Mists, is a 1944 American film. Direction was credited to Lew Landers. The script was written by Aubrey Wisberg. It was based on the book U-Boat Prisoner: The Life Story of a Texas Sailor by Archie Gibbs, who survived the sinking of two ships on successive days in World War II, the freighter Scottsburg, of which he was a crewman, on June 15, 1942, and the freighter Kahuku—which had picked up Scottsburg survivors— on June 16, and was taken prisoner.

Production

Budd Boetticher said, that the film was "an eight day picture". He claims that he was called in to help finish it, as he had with Landers' Submarine Raider.

Boetticher called Landers "a no-talent guy. They called him the "D" director there at Columbia; he just wasn't any good. Whenever they had a picture they didn't really care about, they'd give it to Landers."
