Men on the Sea Floor (Italian:Uomini sul fondo) is a 1941 Italian drama film directed by Francesco De Robertis.
[2] De Robertis specialised in semi-documentary films, in this case portraying the crew of an Italian submarine trapped after an accident.
De Robertis's technique of using non-actors in roles has been credited as an influence on the development of Italian neorealism.
[3] The 1981 German submarine film Das Boot set in World War II also shares a suspenseful part with Men on the Sea Floor in which the German crew tries to free their disabled U-boat from the sea floor.
