Run Silent, Run Deep - Ep 12
This week, co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto take a look at a film that has some striking similarities with Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Robert Wise directed The Motion Picture and it premiered in 1979. It was his 39th film. But 21 years earlier, Wise directed the World War II submarine drama, Run Silent, Run Deep.
This earlier film shares several themes with TMP and after watching it, you'll agree that it must have been an influence for Wise, and possibly even screenwriters Harold Livingston and Gene Roddenberry.
Run Silent, Run Deep premiered in 1958 and was the 26th movie Wise directed. It starred Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster, with Jack Warden and Don Rickles in supporting roles.
Star Trek fans will recognize character actor Ken Lunch in the role of "Frank." He would go on to play Chief Engineer Vandenburg in the Star Trek episode Devil in the Dark in 1967.

In The Unofficial Trek Podcast, hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto give their "Unofficial" take on the Star Trek universe.
From 2019 through 2019, Bob and Kelly hosted the show 70s Trek. It was a look at the events that brought a cancelled, 1960s TV show back from the dead to become a blockbuster movie in 1979. It was a decade that created a multi-million dollar franchise.
Now Bob and Kelly will look at the minutia, the concepts, the people and the news pertaining to the Star Trek Universe. It's a fascinating time for Star Trek, with a flood of content about it on the internet.
Bob and Kelly will give their "Unofficial" take. Why unofficial? Because their views are just that, they are theirs and are, therefore, "unofficial."
It's a fresh look at Star Trek from two lifelong fans who have been talking Trek for over 35 years! We hope you'll join Bob and Kelly for their next venture, The Unofficial Trek Podcast.
