Quiz
The film was initially banned in France on political grounds. An article noted that France had also banned Soviet films with political themes, and that "a number of European countries are sensitive to films with political themes and refuse them exhibition permits, rather than rouse the ire of either the U.S. or Russia."

Blooper
On the submarine, the captain (Richard Widmark) has a cup of coffee in his hand as the sub hits the sea bottom with a thud. Denise (Bella Darvi) who is sitting on a stool is about to fall off. The captain grabs her using both hands, the cup of coffee having disappeared.

Would like to see it again..

I saw this movie on TV years ago, and wish I could see it again..It was mostly a cold-war turned hot story about scientists and mercenaries recruited to take a sub to a secret Chinese island to spy on the project there. They encounter various adventures while looking for the base and when they do find it they discover a Chinese plot to start WW3 and blame it on the United States by dropping a atom bomb from a carefully made up to look like US bomber.Of course, the plot is foiled by the brave heroics of the sub crew. I imagine that the political relationship between China and the US was the reason the movie has not been seen recently. I enjoyed the blend of character and action in this movie. The plot would be plausible in any event. I hope it will come out on vhs or DVD.
