Brian Keith spoke fluent Russian which he displayed in Meteor (1979) and World War III (1982). Here, Keith plays the Police Chief of Gloucester Island and has Alan Arkin translate his formal complaint from English to Russian to the Submarine Commander. Arkin also speaks Russian fluently which he learned from his Russian grandparents.
Ordinary townspeople were used as extras in the film. They were so thrilled to be a part of production that the rushes were shown at the end of each day in a local theater. The townspeople went every night, bringing their entire families with them.
Unable to borrow a real submarine from the US Navy, and unable to bring a Soviet submarine to the United States, the art department built the Russian sub. It is powered by four motors underneath the hull, each driving a section of the "sub", and if you watch carefully, you can see it flexing where the four sections are joined.
Theodore Bikel speaks only Russian in the film. Norman Jewison has acknowledged that his fluency in the language was a principal reason in casting him.
The name of the Russian submarine, converted letter by letter from Cyrillic, translates literally to SPRUT, which is pronounced "sproot." It means "octopus" in Russian.
"Russian sailors: Emehrgancy! Everybody to get from street!"
"Walt Whittaker: Look, can I give you some advice? You'll never make it down to the harbor. Why don't you all give yourselves up? Either you'll kill somebody, or you'll get killed. Either way - you could start a war! Lieutenant Rozanov: What is your name? Walt Whittaker: Whittaker. Walt... Lieutenant Rozanov: Remark to this, Whittaker Walt. We must have boat. Even now may be too late. This is your island, I make your responsibility you help us get boat quickly, otherwise there is World War III, and everybody is blaming YOU!"
