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. This was Columbia's second sound feature following the success of The Scarlet Lady. The film was produced by Harry Cohn. This was Capra's first attempt to make an "A-picture".
