At the peak of Cold War tensions, a U.S. naval ship discovers a Soviet submarine in the North Atlantic and proceeds to scrutinize its every move. As the crew's Captain Findlander pushes forward intensely, relations between members become strained and a battle of wits ensues. Sidney Poitier plays an unforturnate reporter who goes along to interview the captain, but instead gets more of a story than he'd wanted as the drama builds to a heightened climax. Richard Widmark is powerful and determined as the captain with shattered nerves.

Average Rating: (3.7 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

3 stars TAUT THRILLER
This movie successfully captures the high tension chase of the hunter, the US destroyer Bedford, and the hunted, a unknown but assumed Russian submarine. Rather disturbing is the excessive zeal of the destroyer captain in trying to force his quarry to the surface. The captain of any ship is in control of personnel and tactics but this captain is wildly obsessed with this particular submarine which has ventured within the territorial limits of a NATO country. This cold war situation soon escalates into a doomsday thriller with an unreasonable captain oblivious to the mental deterioration of his crew. The ending is unexpected but perhaps realistic given the taut tension that develops on both ships. Fitness reports in the US Navy would probably have prevented a real life Capt. Finlander from retaining command of the Bedford but the movie provides a rude reminder of what can happen when reason is displaced by bravado.

4 stars Very good cold war plot.
Well made. Good acting. Really keeps your interest. Black and white presentation adds to the story. Makes you feel as being there onboard the Bedford. Sound also adds to the realism.

John Sturges's adaptation of Alistair MacLean's novel stars Rock Hudson as submarine commander James Ferraday. When a weather-monitoring station near the North Pole is nearly destroyed by fire, he's ostensibly sent to find out what went wrong. But since he's been ordered to bring along Capt. Leslie Anders (Jim Brown) and a platoon of Marines, British agent David Jones (Patrick McGoohan), and Russian defector Boris Vaslov (Ernest Borgnine), he realizes he's being kept in the dark about the true nature of the mission. Eventually it becomes clear that the USS Tigerfish is in a race with a Russian sub to recover reconaissance film crucial to national defense that was being carried aboard a spacecraft that crashed near the polar ice cap.

Screen legend Peter O'Toole stars in this moving story of an elderly actor and his somewhat questionable relationship with a teenage girl. Maurice (O'Toole) and his friend Ian (Leslie Phillips) are two classy curmudgeons whiling away their hours in coffee shops and at the theater, but their routine is thrown for a loop when Ian's niece's daughter Jessie (Jodie Whittaker) is sent from the country to act as his nurse. Jessie shows up on the scene sullen and pouty, immediately drinking all the liquor in the house and slouching her way from room to room. But Maurice befriends her, taking her to museums and getting her a gig as an art model, and along the way he openly expresses the lust she has awakened in him. Jessie's brash rejections of his affections are at first as amusing as they are awkward. When she starts to allow him small pleasures--like kissing her bare shoulders or caressing her hands--the film enters into some uncomfortable, complicated territory, but it is deftly navigated by Hanif Kureishi's sharp screenplay, and O'Toole's heartbreaking performance. VENUS is in many ways a quiet film, shot mainly in tiny shops and in Ian's musty apartment, ...
