Candice Bergen was young and Hot! McQueen, as always was compeling, the action, as said above, what there was of it, was edge of your seat type, and the human stories told deserved Academy recognition. My fav parts were the Chinese girl and the black-haired sailor's(Can't remember actor, nor character's name tho) story, But Makko as the Chinese crew member McQueen took under his wing was really well done.
The Whole thing was superbly done. Cinematography, Acting, casting, script, all well done.
