The Bedford Incident
A Sidney Poitier film that’s a challenge to the Cold War. The 1965 film stars Poitier and Richard Widmark. It’s directed by James B. Harris, the original producer of Dr. Strangelove. Widmark plays a hardened anti-communist cold-warrior and captain of the Naval destroyer USS Bedford. Poitier is a reporter given permission to interview the captain during a routine patrol. Poitier gets more than he bargained for when the Bedford discovers a Soviet sub in the depths and the captain begins a relentless pursuit, pushing his crew to the breaking point. Find this film streaming on YouTube and other online sources.
