Coupled with Connery's magnetic performance, that's enough to make The Hunt for Red October as watchable today as it was during its release. James Berardinelli. Clancy is known for writing difficult books, but the movie makes plausible a preposterous situation because of Baldwin's convincing, low-key approach to being a The Hunt for Red October hero. Gene Siskel. You may not be limp from accumulated tension when this hunt is over, but its cautiously upbeat global message leaves a satisfying glow and it operates with a crackerjack premise. Sheila Benson. An exciting techno-suspense thriller with a hollow center. John Hartl. Peter Travers. Red October is an idealized, dreamy fantasy of life in the business world-harmless as airplane reading, a bit dull on the big screen. Dave Kehr. With enough of a corkscrew plot to keep anyone guessing and with plenty of edge-of-your-seat suspense, this high-stakes espionage thriller never misses a The Hunt for Red October. Mike Massie.

The Hunt for Red October () - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb The Hunt for Red October is one of the best submarine films ever made, and a favorite of dads everywhere. It was a blockbuster when it came out the sixth-highest grossing film ofand an Oscar nominee for its achievements in sound and editing. It has Sean Connery speaking Russian with a Scottish accent, for crying out loud. Yet there is more to discover about this star-studded Cold War thriller. The Hunt for Red October dive deep and see what else we can find. Tom Clancy's book is a complicated story with a lot of technical jargon, which made Hollywood executives antsy. It The Hunt for Red October made the movie hard to summarize. The film is set inwhich is when the novel was published and when tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were high. Defection is no longer an issue. The Hunt for Red October film had been under production for two weeks when word came that Klaus Maria Brandauer Out of Africathe Austrian actor who'd been signed to play the rogue Soviet sub commander Marko Ramius, couldn't do it after all because of a prior commitment. Connery took the part instead, needing only one day for rehearsal. It turned out that the studio had failed to fax the first page of the script, which explained that it took place before Gorbachev. He said he added speeches for Connery's character "Make it about me," the actor supposedly told himand that he "wrote all of the Russian stuff— everything that's Russian in that movie. In the movie, the Red October can be super-stealthy by turning off its sonar which can alert other subs to its location and navigating silently through a method called "gravimetry. Oh, and it was a secret. The information was declassified a few months after the film was released; whether that was because the movie had The Hunt for Red October the cat out of the bag, or because the tech was by then not very new anymoreno one can or will say for sure. Mace Neufeld met with resistance when he first approached the Navy for help. But several admirals were fans of Clancy's novel, and they appreciated what Paramount's Top Gun had done for Navy jet fighters. In Neufeld's words The Hunt for Red October, the Navy eventually decided that The Hunt for Red October would be a good way of "showing taxpayers where their money was going. But it The Hunt for Red October feasible to shoot the interiors The Hunt for Red October an actual sub those things are cramped enough without adding a film crewso painstakingly accurate sets were The Hunt for Red October based on the real thing. The sets were put on hydraulic gimbals that could be tilted to The Hunt for Red October motion, which Connery said made him seasick. It's complicated, and there are at least two sides to every storybut here's the gist: While negotiations with Baldwin were still ongoing, Paramount allegedly offered the part to Ford, who was a bigger box The Hunt for Red October draw and to whom the studio owed money anyway because of a previous project that had fallen through. Baldwin had been dithering over the specifics of his deal, and now a Paramount executive used that indecision to force his hand: either commit right now to an open-ended contract for Patriot Games and whatever came next, or the offer would be withdrawn. The radar ping was manufactured electronically, using sine waves and reverb, but other sound effects were recorded from real sources. For example, the squeals and groans of submarines under stress were taken from the sounds of Disneyland's Space Mountain roller coaster cars The Hunt for Red October they go around turns. In the film's final moments, as Ramius looks forward to his new life in America as a defector, he says : "And the sea will grant each man new hope, as sleep brings dreams of home. Ina Soviet Navy officer named Valery Sablin led a mutiny on the frigate not submarine Storozhevoy— not because he wanted to move to America and embrace democracy, but because he believed the current Soviet administration wasn't socialist enough. The Kremlin sent 13 ships and The Hunt for Red October aircraft in pursuit of Sablin, who was arrested and executed for treason. But Kevin was up to his neck, and very enthusiastic, about doing this And I said, 'You'd rather do a buffalo movie? Ranger training during the Korean War.

He agrees to undertake an expedition. His daughter, Sophie (Julie Cox), also a brilliant marine biologist, disguised as a man, comes as her father's assistant. On ship, she becomes smitten with harpoonist Ned Land (Paul Gross). At night, the shimmering green sea beast is spotted. When Ned tries to spear it, the monster rams their ship.

  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.
