This review is from : Ice Station Zebra
Could have been a stage play .
From the initial credits we see that this film will have something to do with satellites, the soviets and the U.S. Looks like an accident has happened at the North Pole (Ice station Zebra). The U.S. with Brittan, and the soviets are rushing to the rescue. Both are hampered by a snow storm. The U.S. has sent a submarine to the rescue. However it looks like something covert is afoot. The submarine is being packed with marines and an unscrupulous acting character. What is the secret? Will the sub even make it to the pole? And if so what will they find? Why are the soviets so keen in helping?Because critical scenes take place in the snow our characters are color coded:Brown furry top with brown trousers = David Jones (Patrick McGoohan)All blue = Cmdr. Ferriday (Rock Hudson)Brown practically furless with black and white bands = Boris Vaslov (Ernest Borgnine)Orange and yellow = sub crewAll white with m16's = marinesAll white with AK's = soviets* You may have guest that it is a mans movie with all men *This story as adapted for the movies could make a pretty good stage play as the real action is the bantering and posturing during a face to face confrontation. Another movie adaptation from the author (Alistair MacLean) is "The Guns of Navarone" (1961).The original music for this film also stands on its own; you may want to buy the sound track.

Ice Station Zebra Reviews
Cold War heats up on the ice! .
This movie has a strong star name cast - Patrick McGoohan, Ernest Borgnine, Rock Hudson and Jim Brown. McGoohan is brilliant as ever. A perfectionist of an actor, he once again is play a Brit super-spy (Secret Agent, Prisoner). It's a role he is comfortable with and he brings his subtle, yet incisive touches to conjur this character alive. Borgnine, never gives less than 110% to a role is perfect at the anti-Russian Russian. Brown to fierce as the man no one really likes and suspects he might be more than he pretends. Hudson is the weakest link. His lines were written to come out of an actor with the same power and presence as McGoohan and Borgnine - Robert Mitchum. Had Mitchum played the role this movie would have been dead on target. Against McGoohan and Borgnine, Hudson shows he had all the range from A-B. In the very dramatic scene where McGoohan is telling how to wreck a sub, he is dead on perfect - every word every gesture. Hudson gives his rebuttal and comes across as trying to echo McGoohan's strength. Mitchum could have looked McGoohan in the eye and it would have been a long staring contest before either blinked!It's a race to the North Pole to reach a weather station that has gone out of contact after a camera that contained spy film lands there. You have the Russians rushes to reach there, and the US group with their multinational spies trying to make it there first.Great adventure from start to finish a good adaptation of Alistair MacLean's best-selling book.
