Customer Reviews

Okay story but,....
This could have been a good movie if Robert Shaw hadn't died while they were making it. In Leonard Maltin's review he says that most of Robert Shaw's voice had to be re dubbed. As far as i could hear ALL of it was. It was just too hard to enjoy because it obviously wasn't Robert Shaw's Voice. There are some good performances in this film though. And a good plot. But if you're planning to buy it because you're a fan of Robert Shaw,...Prepared to be dissapointed. I'm sure he gave a good performance but the emotions displayed by the actor who dubbed him were lacking. Sad. Could have been a classic movie if it weren't for that.

What do you do when the star dies before the movie is done!
In the case of this weak cold war thriller(their label not mine), you find someone who sounds nothing like "star" Robert Shaw and use his bad impersonation of Mr. Shaw and then use long shots to hide the double used to fill in those scenes that he had yet to film. As for the "all-star" cast(Joe Namath, Mick Connors, and Linda Evans) the less said the better. I must have been very sick the first time I saw this to think it was good.

Good mix of Lee Marvin, Linda Evans & Robert Shaw
This film has a good plot and real characters. The scenes of Milan and Europe in winter are good. Dysktra's avalanche special effects are not quite Star Wars but very good. If you like trains, travel with Cold War under tones, you like this movie.
