Apparently there is a remake in the works with Colin Farrell in the Rock Hudson role. This version supposedly will more closely follow the plot line of the original Allistar McLean novel.

I loved that movie. Funny enough I was thinking about it just last week. I'll have to try and find it on dvd.

A classic sub movie and a "must have" for any collector of sub movies.

And if my aging memory serves me correctly it also won an Oscar for special effects.

Only one thing in that movie that really irked me:
A marine captain (Capt. Lislie Anders played by Jim Brown) would have NEVER
given in to the spy (Boris Vaslov played by Ernest Borgnine) by giving up his
only weapon. He should have died (or maybe not) trying to use it because the
only outcome had him dying anyway...

I'm sorry to hear that. Like Breakheart Pass, I thought the movie was an improvement.

Yeah...Too bad they can't resurrect Charles Bronson for this one.
