In the movie 'Fail-Safe' who played the airman who reluctantly gave up the technical "secrets" about the US bombers' air-to-air missles?

Frank Overton played Bogan in the film; Brian Dennehy played him in the live television remake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-Safe_%281964_film%29 Jun 04 07, 1:57 PM

Wrong and Wrong. ;-) GeneralBogan did not know how the missiles worked. He asked several high level officers, (who refused) then eventually this "lowly" technician. Who was this? Jun 04 07, 5:33 PM

Well, in that case, you might be talking about Sergeant Collins, played by Gordon Knapp in the original film and Tommy Hinkley in the remake: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058083/quotes Jun 04 07, 6:07 PM

Dom DeLuise played the airman in the original. http://imdb.com/title/tt0058083/fullcredits#cast Russell Collins was an actors who played the role of Gordon Knapp (who was, I think, the industrialist who, along with a congressman, was witnessing the activity) Jun 04 07, 6:34 PM
