People talk about how bad the acting is in this.....actually I think it's ok. Sean Connery and Karl Malden (of course) delivered as always. Henry Fonda was pretty good as the president. Good supporting performances by Joseph Campanella and Richard Dysart too. Honorable mention to Trevor Howard as well.
All that being said, I thought that Martin Landau was way over the top. The paranoid general was overplayed.....especially with the "A Fireworks display!/I shall return!" speech.....Brian Keith (who normally, like Landau, is a pretty good actor) then goes off on an even crazier tangent (almost like he is saying: you think that is bad? Look at this! ).
