    A stellar cast, yet the story is oddly spiltted in two episodes who feel a bit disconnected. A shame though because both had potential on their own. Anyway, a good and surprisingly realistic movie.

    If you are into classic movies, submarines and cold war this one is for you.

    I remember watching this when I was in grade school. Thought it was kind of boring. Are any of these people still alive?

    Rock Hudson's career was saved in this action-adventure spectacle that was one of the big-budget Cinerama and SuperPanavision 70MM films that emerged during the 1960's. Astounding special effects.
