Fail-Safe : I thought Larry Hagman deserved a best supporting actor nomination

Are you kidding? He stunk up the place with that ridiculous and unnecessary Russian accent. I find his performance here contrived and poorly directed.
This is an overall tedious film and not worthy of all the high powered talent that lent their time to it. (Fonda, Weaver, Matthau, etc...)

What Russian accent? He made no attempt at one in this movie that I am aware of. Are you sure you're not thinking about a different movie?

You must be talking about another film! This one is a taut thriller and far from tedious--although I'll grant you that since it has no chase or fight scenes it may not be to the taste of those who prefer James Bond or Jason Bourne movies.

It's a great film, but Hagman DOES employ a slight Russian accent, which is distracting.

I thought he was excellent as well. I wonder if he was intimidated by the presence of Fonda, which translated into the character's nervousness due to the situation he was in.
I disagree with what you are saying, but I will fight to your death for your right to say it;-)

Agreed. Hagman was indeed excellent as Buck.
Yes, this is really me.

Re: I thought Larry Hagman deserved a best supporting actor nomination
It took me a few moments to recognize him he was so young.
He was excellent.
But so was everyone else in this film. The acting is first-rate. After watching this I wondered if anyone did get an Oscar nomination. Nope. Not a single nomination in any category.
But Julie Andrews won for Mary Poppins? Unbelievable. I love Julie Andrews but that performance was not Oscar worthy at all.
And Fail-Safe is still available on Tubi.
