Submarine is a 1928 synchronized sound drama film directed by Frank Capra. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film Western Electric Sound System process. It was produced by Harry Cohn for Columbia Pictures. This was Capra's first attempt to make an "A-picture".
Two sailor buddies have their friendship torn apart after the woman they both are in love with chooses one over the other. Their relationship gets re-evaluated when one of them becomes trapped in a submarine and the other gets sent on the rescue mission.
The film featured a theme song entitled "Pals, Just Pals" which was composed by Dave Dreyer and Herman Ruby.
Complete copies of the film are held at the Library of Congress, the Filmmuseum, and the Cineteca Nazionale.[2]
