The Hunt For Red October
I head heard about the book for years before I finally got around to reading it.
When I got to the part where the Soviet sub commander writes a letter to the head of the KGB telling him that the crew was going to steal the most powerful weapon in the fleet. Then I threw the book away and swore never to read a Tom Clancy book.
I only watched the movie to see if they'd keep that part, or come up with a reasonable explanation.
What's the problem with that part? That a letter is too slow for such important news, or that the thief gives himself away intentionally?
I've not read the book so I didn't know which sub commander you mean.
You can't be serious... Sean Connery playing a Russian with his thick British accent?
