Das Boot (1981)
Petersen's 1981 German U-boat drama. Three-hour theatrical, six-hour director's cut, miniseries.
Actor: Jurgen Prochnow
Jürgen Prochnow played the captain in Das Boot, and the shoot’s confined conditions and duration produced genuine physical strain that is visible in the performance. The English-language career that followed, in Dune and The Seventh Sign, never used him as well, which he has acknowledged.
