Love the Hunt for Red October! I've only read it twice. Now I must retrieve and put in my reading queue.

In my opinion, this script, that is the translation of a novel into a two-hour movie, was one of the best ever.

I've seen so many novels converted into movies that are so disappointing. But in this movie you hardly notice the differences and it keeps all the suspense. You hardly realize how much they cut out to fit it into two hours.
