Philip Coolidge entame sa carrière d'acteur au théâtre et joue notamment à Broadway (New York), principalement dans des pièces, depuis Our Town de Thornton Wilder (1938, avec Frank Craven et Martha Scott) jusqu'à Hamlet de William Shakespeare (1964, avec Richard Burton dans le rôle-titre et Alfred Drake).

Entretemps, mentionnons Jacobowsky et le Colonel de Franz Werfel (1944-1945, avec Annabella et Louis Calhern), Les Sorcières de Salem d'Arthur Miller (1953, avec Arthur Kennedy et Walter Hampden), la comédie musicale Kismet (1953-1955, avec Alfred Drake et Richard Kiley), ainsi que Rhinocéros d'Eugène Ionesco (son avant-dernière prestation à Broadway, 1961, avec Zero Mostel et Eli Wallach).

Au cinéma, il contribue à seize films américains, depuis Boomerang ! d'Elia Kazan (1947, avec Dana Andrews et Jane Wyatt) jusqu'à Frissons garantis de Jerry Paris (1968, avec Dick Van Dyke et Edward G. Robinson), sorti plus d'un an après sa mort à 58 ans, en 1967, d'un cancer du poumon.

Dans l'intervalle, citons La Mort aux trousses d'Alfred Hitchcock (1959, avec Cary Grant et Eva Marie Saint), Procès de singe de Stanley Kramer (1960, avec Spencer Tracy et Fredric March) et La Plus Grande Histoire jamais contée de George Stevens (1965, avec Max von Sydow et Dorothy McGuire).

Second-rate actor Jack Albany (Dick Van Dyke) finds himself mistaken for fiendish killer Ace Williams and whisked off to master gangster Leo Smooth's (Edward G. Robinson) fortified mansion. He is forced to continue with the charade what with all the rough-looking hoods around, even when he finds he is to play a deadly role in the theft of the Van Gogh masterpiece "Field of Sunflowers". But at least there is lovely art teacher Sally (Dorothy Provine) who could become an ally — if she ever believes his story.

A Russian submarine called Спрут ("Octopus") draws too close to the New England coast one morning when its captain (Theodore Bikel) wants to take a good look at America and runs aground on a sandbar near the fictional Gloucester Island, which, from other references in the movie, is located off the coast of Cape Ann or Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Rather than radio for help and risk an embarrassing international incident, the captain sends a nine-man landing party, headed by his zampolit (Political Officer) Lieutenant Yuri Rozanov (Alan Arkin), to find a motor launch to help free the submarine from the bar. The men arrive at the house of Walt Whittaker (Carl Reiner), a vacationing playwright from New York City. Whittaker is eager to get his wife Elspeth (Eva Marie Saint) and two children, obnoxious but precocious nine and half-year-old Pete (Sheldon Collins) and three-year-old Annie (Cindy Putnam), off the island now that summer is over.
