How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A buoyant wartime comedy that treats a dysfunctional submarine crew and their tangled romantic entanglements with anarchic charm. It's the kind of film that finds humor in chaos and camaraderie in incompetence.
