Down a 1978 film that also stars Heston As what else the submarine Captain the subs on its Way Home to Connecticut when a freighter rams it and sends it Down to get buried under Ocean floor Rock slides. The movie makes its Way through Friday night As swiftly and tautly As the sub should have been moving with Stacy Keach co starring As the Man in charge of the Cliff Hanger Rescue efforts. Another Good bet this week is wednesday night s gun smoke the last Apache.

This is the 1966 version with Ann mar Gret acceptable but not the great 1969 version with John Wayne or thank heavens the Tacky 1986 version with Willie Nelson.
