Movie Reviews of The Bedford Incident
Movie Review: solid cold war drama
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bedford Incident
This DVD is a solid cold war drama of an American destroyer pursuing a Soviet submarine to antagonize it in international waters, which is against Navy orders. Richard Widwark is the uptight, egotistic captain who constatntly has his crew on alerts and does not permit even anyone going to sick bay. He has the crew nervous and dead serious. Sidney Poiter is tne newspaper man who was dropped onto the ship by a helicoptor to get interviews and a news story regarding this high profile captain. Martin Balsam is the doctor also dropped onto the ship to be the physican aboard, but he is stopped at every turn by the captain who does not believe in doctors aboard his ship, and gives him problems through the movie.
Tensions mount as Widmark threatens the Russian sub which he has finally cornered and tells the sub captain that he must surface. The nuclear tipped missiles are armed and ready with the safeties off. The sailor in charge of firing them has been ridiculed and dogged by the catain throughout the movie and he is expremely uptight. The captain's threats turns into an unexpected result.
I don't want to reveal the super and dramatic ending to this drama as a seemingly harmless pursuit turns into an unbelievable disaster caused by the captain's ego and by a over tension filled, sailor in charge of firing the missiles.
This DVD is a must keep sake for those who love war time dramas, great acting, and submarine/destroyer type of movies.
