	Ice Station Zebra
		But for boys especially "Ice Station Zebra" had all the ingredients of a thrilling adventure: Captain James Ferraday (Hudson) is instructed to take his nuclear submarine to the North Pole to pick up the survivors of weather station Zebra.
		But "Ice Station Zebra" must be the oddest odd man out here.
		When Warner Home Video and Turner Classic Movies asked viewers which movies they were desperate to see transferred to DVD, the 1968 Cold War thriller "Ice Station Zebra" made the list -- along with "King Solomon's Mines," "Ivanhoe," "The Letter" and "Random Harvest." I can see no rhyme or reason to the list.

	Ice Station Zebra
		Zebra has already moved a good bit from its original position--the polar ice cap, just sitting on top of the Arctic Ocean, can't quite manage to keep up with the west-east spin of the earth, so that it has a slow westward movement in relation to the earth's crust.
		The ice storm was no longer the gusting, swirling fog of that morning but a driving wall of stiletto-tipped spears, near-lethal in its ferocity, highspeed ice-spicule lances that would have skewered their way through the thickest cardboard or shattered in a second a glass held in your hand.
		One would have expected moonlit ice to shine and sparkle and glitter with the light of a million crystal chandeliers: but it was dark.

	TechnoFile Reviews Ice Station Zebra on DVD
		Ice Station Zebra is a cold war adventure telling the tale of a US Submarine crew sent to rescue a crew of civilians trapped at the title location.
		The first half of the movie recounts the sub’s journey to the arctic and under the ice, and during that time there’s a sabotage attempt that threatens to destroy the sub and all in it – a suicide mission before the days of zealots strapping explosives to themselves.
		It was only the biggest and best theaters of the day that could show Cinerama films in their native format, and it was generally only the biggest and most awe inspiring films (such as 2001: a space odyssey) that could fill such screens.

	The DVD Journal Reviews : Ice Station Zebra
		Ice Station Zebra, released in 1968, is an adaptation of a techno-thriller by Alistair MacLean, whose vogue was just about running out at that time.
		When the DVD distributor came to package Ice Station Zebra, this anonymous but sage individual attached to it the trailer for The Aviator, Martin Scorsese's biopic about Howard Hughes from John Logan's script.
		When the team finally reaches the North Pole, the film transitions from expansive exterior shots of the sub at sea to studio-bound sets of duplicated ice blocks.

	Film Score Monthly Message Board
		Arctic Ice Station Zebra is a place, a moment in time, and action packed finalé of elaborate opportunities to show a nuclear submarine as intricate, powerful, vulnerable, monumental and awe inspiring - no matter how you choose to use this high-seas chess piece in the ancient cold-war game of sizing-up the enemy." Nicely put.
		By the way, anyone having the old MGM letterboxed laserdisc should watch all the way to the end as the neat cue for the "under the ice" sequence, not included on the album, is used as "exit music", in stereo and in the clear.
		ZEBRA, on the other hand, never strays far from the flavorful mix of characters and the actors who play them, from Rock Hudson's nearly humorless Capt. Ferraday, to Patrick McGoohan's sardonic spy, "Jones," to Ernest Borgnine's earthy Vaslov.

	ICE STATION ZEBRA - DVD
		Warner's DVD presentation of Ice Station Zebra is as gleaming as the fetish object it represents.
		On the other hand, Ice Station Zebra's impersonality is almost a plus in this case, as the warmth of a human personality might spoil the imposing dead weight of the production and thus the oddity that raises it out of the muck of anti-Communist banality.
		No surprise that Ice Station Zebra was Howard Hughes' favourite film: it's almost as obsessed with cleanliness and machines as he was.

		Rock Hudson plays the captain of a nuclear submarine, dispatched to rescue the stranded inhabitants of an Arctic research station.
		What follows is the usual dense, solemn nonsense about spy satellites, stolen technology, missile bases and sabotage, with Ernest Borgnine madly miscast as a Russian, and the standard widescreen panorama of Styrofoam ice on overlit soundstages.
		They have taken on a spook, played with malevolent panache by Patrick McGoohan, whose ominous presence suggests that something more is going on than a mission of mercy.

		Posted by: Anachronda on September 21, 2005 07:33 PM Supposedly Hughes' TV station had a standing order to run Ice Station Zebra every night at 2 AM so the Big Man could tune in and watch it if he felt so inclined.
		He’d just call up the local TV station he owned and order it to play Zebra, then kick back and watch on his set at home.

		After a stop at Kolyuchin Island, where bleached-white skulls of polar bears and rusting batteries from an abandoned weather station litter the ground, we set course across the Chukchi Sea for Wrangel.
