Made during the early days of sound cinema, this tense submarine adventure is an intriguing example of a hybrid silent-talkie. A disgraced English sub commander changes his name to Burke and joins the American Navy. When the U.S. submarine on which he is serving as a torpedo launcher begins to sink, Burke must make the ultimate sacrifice to save as many crew men as possible..

    "Men Without Women" is a unique hybrid of silent film and early talkie. The interspersed written words were a welcome aid, given the difficulty in discerning the dialogue. The film starts compellingly, depicting shore leave in 1930s China. However, the title could benefit from further clarification to enhance understanding.
