Robert McCall’s poster art for Ice Station Zebra, 1968
Great John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Eagle Has Landed) flick from Alistair MacLean's best-selling novel, love the soundtrack, and worth watching again and again.
But Mr. Jones should have given Borisovich a dummy film reel, and been seen handing the real film reel to Cmdr. Farraday as they dove and departed.

ReplyDeleteThat's the first movie girlfriend/fiance/wife saw when we first met. We enjoyed a fun movie and a terrific life together. Miss you, Sweety.
ReplyDeletegreat movie, story holds up not the effects or sets
ReplyDeleteHoward Hughes' favorite film.

ReplyDeleteThat soundtrack should be in everyone's collection!
ReplyDeleteHughes had great cinematic taste.
