doodlebug603 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi I'm looking for the title of an old movie that i saw.It's a sort of sci-fi comedy.It's about a submarine that was missing for , I believe 20 years. When some underwater explorers found it,there are survivors still on board. I believe it went down in the 20s . I remember that the youngest passenger , a girl, was a baby when they sank and is now 20 years old. They manage somehow to take oxygen from the water itself with some kind of machine on the sub , which keeps them alive. and they also grow food. I remember them dancing to music from the 20s. It's a black and white movie that I saw on t.v. I've been looking for the title for a long time. I hope someone out there can help me with this. I would love to see it again. I can't seem to remember much else. Any help with this will be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianabat Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Could it be Goliath Awaits? Some of the elements you mentioned are present, though this is a two-part TV movie about a ship that was sunk by the Germans during WWII. You can find more info about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082461/ Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug603 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 No that is not the one.The movie that I am looking for is a much older movie, it took place in a submarine, and it played out more like a romantic comedy than a sci-fi. But thanks for helping me, the link you sent me brought to my attention some other interesting movies ! I'm not sure about this , but I think the young girl in question does not want to leave the sub. She was raised there from a baby, and knows nothing of the world other than what she has known on board. ( but it could be one of the other passengers .... it's vague in my memory ) Very interesting movie, lots of suspense.... thanks a bunch for your help Di.........

doodlebug603 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi, Thank you Dianabat, you were right after all. ''Goliath Awaits'' is the title I was looking for . There wasn't much information for the storyline on IMDB, therefore I did not think it was the right one, but I finally found it by searching for the song that was played in the movie '' Happy days are here again'' . And I thought it was a submarine when it was actually a cruise ship, and I thought it was older than the 80s. When I think of all the time I wasted looking when you had given me the right answer all along ........ Next time I will dig deeper into responses haha Thank you for taking the time to respond.

dianabat Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You're very welcome, Marie. It's sometimes difficult to remember all the elements of a plot correctly, especially after a number of years have passed. I know...it's happened to me, too. Glad you found what you were looking for.
