Closing in for the kill - By: B. Chandler, 23 Nov 2005
A Helicopter approaches the US war ship & deposits a writer Ben Munceford (Sidney Poitier) & a naval doctor Lt. Cmdr. Chester Potter, MD (Martin Balsam).

It is the peak of the cold war & the last thing this ship or captain Eric Finlander (Richard Widmark) needs is a writer or a doctor. In fact both will prove to be a burden as the ship’s I strung & efficient crew are out to find a soviet sub, any soviet sub where it does not belong.

The captain has a history of forcing soviet subs to the surface in embarrassing locations. The captain’s companion is Cmmdre. Wolfgang Schrepke, German Navy (Eric Portman), an expert on submarine tactics.

They finallly find what they are looking for. However something about Capt. Finlander’s attitude concerns Ben. And the continuous state of readiness concerns Lt. Cmdr. Potter. And the slow tension buildup concerns us.
