  Great stuff Barbel. Joseph Wiseman looks older than I would have imagined him to look in that period.

  I've always loved the interview with Alec Baldwin about making
  The Hunt for Red October. In which he said on the first day of
  Filming he thought to himself " I'm young, good looking, everyone's
  Going to be looking at me, not Old, Connery " and then in walks Connery
  In a beautiful uniform, short hair and Beard ! He said he knew then he was
  Only the Co-star after that . )

  Haha, that's quite right. Nobody in Hunt For Red October can compete with Connery for charisma and screen presence. It would have been quite interesting if Harrison Ford had played Jack Ryan in that film instead of Baldwin and to compare. Connery would probably still come out on top, but Ford is far closer to being his equal in terms of screen presence.

  There are several conflicting stories about casting Jack Ryan, but one of them suggests that Ford was at one point to star in THFRO with Klaus Maria Brandauer playing Ramius. When Brandauer was replaced by Connery, the studio apparently felt they couldn't afford Ford as well.
  (The stories from the actors, the studio, and the producer don't match up!)
