One of the deadly serious films that came out of the Cold War. Looking over the cast is somewhat astonishing: Larry Hagman, Walter Matthau, my distant cousin Henry Fonda, and introducing Fritz Weaver. Oh yes, the big surprise: Dom Deluise. For you younguns', he was a comic actor long ago.
Larry Hagman plays Buck, the Russian translator for the President. My, he was young.
I had forgotten how powerful the last few minutes are.
A good movie I haven't seen in a long time... I think I still prefer Seven Days in May
