This film was made for B.I.P. by Walter Summers, with the close co- operation of the Admiralty, and the scene in question was to depict the crew of a eunkon submarine coming to the surface after escnp ing by means of the Davis life sav ing apparatus.
For obvious. ressons it was not possible to release the nekrs from a submerged submarine, for it would entail the flooding and pos sible destruction of the vessel. Sumors therefore, overcame the difficulty by sinking a tienvy weight
