European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 24, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Behind the scenes work on a october paid off for Nav Gary Miller Naples Bureau Naples Italy a the classified document is about a secret submarine Mission and Scott Campbell is passing his copy on to whomever comes up with the right numbers. But the Navy lieutenant Isnit Selling out his country. Campbell is raffling off a copy of the script for the Hunt for red october autographed by the movie s stars and Paramount pictures bigwigs for Navy Relief. He s also offering copies of some of the movie s storyboard Art and some set dressing items. The raffle is timed to coincide with the movie s run at Naples area Navy base Heaters which began june 13. The film starts on the cafes circuit for the army and air Force july 28. Campbell the Naples naval support activity Public affairs officer plans to hold the drawing at the films last showing in Naples which is yet to be scheduled. He has the script and other souvenirs because he helped make the movie. Campbell s last duty station was the Navy office of information in los Angeles where he worked As a Hollywood Liaison officer making sure the Navy was accurately represented in the movies. One Means he and his colleagues used to ensure accuracy was in reviewing scripts such As the one he has now. A normally the Navy treats scripts As if they were classified confidential a a Campbell said a but i began collecting autographs on this copy with the understanding that it would be auctioned or raffled for Navy  1 1 s8ts Gary Miller the raffle is just one of the benefits the Navy got from supporting films like red october. A after top gun was released people were lining up left and right to be pilots Quot said Campbell about the film starring Tom cruise As a Navy fighter Pilot. A but 30 to 35 percent of those people thought the movie was about the air Force so that Branch had some spinoff from the film a Campbell said. No such spinoff is Likely for the air Force from red october which is expected to give a big boost to Navy recruiting efforts. And another Benefit of the film he said is that accurate presentations of the Navy in such movies show taxpayers How the sea service is using their tax dollars. None of those dollars went into the production of red october or any other film the Navy supports he said. A filming was done on a not to interfere basis. If it. Scott Campbell pictured Here at his Naples office was one of the Navy a consultants for the film a the Hunt for red  a ship was already scheduled for training operations a camera Crew could come along at no Cost to the government Quot Campbell said. Navy officers and enlisted men who worked As extras in red october also had to be on leave or Liberty status to be allowed to work on the production. Twelve sailors tested Paramount a sound stage re creation of the submarine Dallas control room. They worked the controls and talked on the phone systems. A Paramount decided to use Navy people in the movie because they walked like sailors and knew How to Salute. A they could operate the dive plane controls and their chatter on the sound powered phones was authentic. They were naturals Quot he said. Much of the Dallas set was just As natural thanks to Campbell who went with production people to defense re utilization and marketing service offices. A we were looking for dials and gauges to build sets with a he said. A a in be never been in More junkyards in my  Paramount could borrow not buy the instruments. Campbell spent much of his time looking for inconsistencies in the film such As a Brandy de Canter in the stateroom on an aircraft Carrier a alcohol in t authorized on Navy ships a or a Sailor being assigned the discontinued rank of Seaman first class. Campbell also worked with the films actors including its stars Sean Connery James Earl Jones Alec Baldwin and Scott Glenn. A the one who impressed me the most was James Earl Jones. Not Only is he a great actor but he is a genuine and sincere  Campbell worked for More than two years on the film. Quot red october a depiction of the Navy Isnit totally accurate a said Campbell a but it s a credible  1ill a a a i 19 Lull 111 4 Sean Connery in a scene in the sub.
