Maybe it's just my imagination, but I detect a hint of an accent in Ramius that isn't there in any of Sean Connery's other characters. It's a little hard to pin down what kind of an accent Ramius would actually have; he's Lithuanian, not Russian, but he would have grown up in a Lithuania dominated by the Russians (certainly from his early teens), and as a rising officer in the Soviet Navy would have used Russian day in and day out. Then again given his age he probably would have grown up in Vilnius speaking Lithuanian, his wife was Lithuanian, and . . . I'm way overthinking this, aren't I?

Yeah, Hunt for Red October is a wonderful movie. It's certainly flawed - there are several places where the writers are pretty heavy-handed in showing that we are in an American or Soviet environment - but it's a good adventure yarn, and whatever other flaws the script has, there are some great lines. "I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck, maybe even a recreational vehicle." or "Be careful what you shoot at. Most things in here don't react too well to bullets."
