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....

Great film.

I think I will dig it out again and watch it next week.

Smaragdadler · 04-08-07, 05:23 AM

Yeah! Some like it even more then "Das Boot". (*takes preliminary cover behind desk*)

!!! ...

...

... 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.

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

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.

ASWnut101 · 04-08-07, 06:18 PM

Saw it last night. Really good movie.

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

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."

"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: "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: "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".
