Ice Station Zebra

I'm watching this movie again. The mix of post WWII submarine footage, the low skull-dugary, nefarious drama is quite enthralling.

Highly recommended ASW. Howard Hughes was said to be obsessed with it in his last years.

One of my faves....:up:

... I mean, watching "Boot" is a kind of work, but "zebra" is just real fun...

Great film saw it at music camp of all places for the first time. :up:

I like the film, but it has nothing on the novel. Agatha Christie under the sea :D

Classic Cold War spy thriller.

It's estimated that Howard Hughes watched it nearly 150 times during his later years of seclusion.

I was a child when I saw it; not so great remembers in my mind, out of the sub surfacing in the ice.

Saw it last night. Really good movie.:up:

The weird thing is, I watched before you posted this. I just didn't know the title...

[John Channing]

It had one of the best lines ever.

Rock Hudson (the Captain of the Sub), talking to some nervous Marines that have been housed in the Torpedo Room, explaining how things work on a Submarine.

"Everything is very casual here. We are all on a first name basis. My first name is Captain."

I think Sailor Steve had that as his Sig for a while.

Yes I did; and I was going to post that but you beat me to it.

So I'll have to go with:
Patrick McGoohan: "I don't care how you get me there, just GET ME THERE!!! May I ask when we can expect to arrive?"
Rock Hudson: "Yes, you may ask."

[Platapus]

"All of a sudden you know a hell of a lot about Submarines"
"I know how to sink them"

Love that line. I should dig that movie out.

[Rhodes]

"All of a sudden you know a hell of a lot about Submarines"
"I know how to sink them"

Love that line. I should dig that movie out.

"and I know how to lie, steal, kidnap, counterfeit, suborn and kill. That's my job. I do it with great pride".

"The Russians put our camera made by *our* German scientists and your film made by *your* German scientists into their satellite made by *their* German scientists."

And one of my favorites

Cmdr. Ferraday (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001369/): "There's one thing that cannot happen on board a submarine by accident... is both ends of a torpedo tube open to the sea at the same time!"

David Jones (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001526/): "You cross-connect the hydraulic manifold to the outside door mechanism so that the indicator reads shut when the door is actually open. The same sort of electrical cross on these two panels, and the open position reads green when it should flash red. Then you plug up the inlet to the test cock with chewing gum, sealing wax, anything... just so that it shows a dribble. And then you open the tube, and Good Night".

Just got around to watching it last night and boy it looks dated and all the errors. But apart from that fact it's still a great film and I am going to buy it on DVD as the recorded tape version I got has a few flaws.

I read the book first and like it. Then I watched the movie, think it is quite different but like it anyway, as a seperate peice of creation. Ever since Guns of Navarone, Alistair MacLean has become a major selling point in movies. Producers would associate their movies with his name for marketing reasons alone. Sometime in the 1980s this no longer holds true.
