I read the previous post where the writer said this film was "lost." I saw Balls Bluff at a Robert Downey (Sr) film festival (of sorts) in 1965. It was at a small theater near Ghirardeli Square in San Francisco. I seem to remember seeing it again, maybe in 1969, about the time Putney Swope came out. Balls Bluff has always stuck with me, especially the part where the civil war soldier walks out into right field (as I recall)at Yankee Stadium. I remember reading somewhere that Downey had his actor walk out there during a game and shot the scene from the stands. The man was merely escorted off the field. Can you imagine what they would do to him today?
Anyway, I mention this in the hopes that it might help someone locate a print of this movie. I remember liking it and have always wanted to see it again --

So my home-on-leave-from-his-submarine son and I sat down to enjoy a nice submarine movie directed by that fine technician, Alan Smithee. Seeing the apartment sized submersable that not only had plenty of room for the three civilians, but a hot tub and sauna.
OK, OK, not the hot tub. My son quickly asked for a piece of paper to list the technical errors he noticed. Soon he asked for another piece of paper, then another. Starting with the incorrect hull numbers on the boat, to the CO's tee shirt (with writing on it), to the showers -- the woman used enough water for ten men to shower for a week, not to mention the green coolant and the reacter starting like an old flathead Ford, my kid stopped counting at 65 errors.
Fo me, I like to kick back and enjoy movies without nitpicking. I can overlook minor mistakes. I know reality when I see it. My favorite part is when Stephen Baldwin finds and repairs the cause of the boat's crash dive to the bottom. A loose battery cable! One touch and everything works! Thank goodness for Diehard!
