At the beginning of the movie, Vostrikov joins naval base by military 3/4 Ton truck. This vehicle is a Dodge WC56 Command Car used by US Army during WW2. Although Soviet troops used a lot of lend-lease US trucks during the War (when both countries were allied), they no longer used it in early 60's. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

I rented this DVD for a little diversion, in spite of the bad buzz and the word "flop" attached. I thought it was a very good movie, very suspenseful and interesting. I don't nitpick about things like accents with films, just try to enjoy them. I agree with the majority of posters here, it is well worth your time.
