Review of Ice Station Zebra

I belong to this category, definitely, my all time period- sixties, till mid seventies, but I must admit that this film is more than a bit overlong, so predictable too. I prefer SATAN BUG, from the same director and also adapted from an Alistair Mc Lean's book. It could have been shorter, and the cast is OK. Mc Goohan is here at his best for a long length feature, I don't remember him better in a movie. Typical Cold war espionage movie from this very era, decade. Photography, score, acting, nothing to deny, only the length is a bit too much for me. Not the best of Sturges, with MAROONED, which suffers of the same symptoms.
