Kidnapped 1960

Post by Who2 »

Flashback.....
It's a wet sunday afternoon in 1960.

Having just returned from a sunny sunday pint and a bloody mary only to find this stunning film on't telly.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053994/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Totally brilliant the colours, the sound and the acting not to be beaten.
I have always loved ships and sea films.

The Captain was 'M' in the James Bond films, George Peter Finch a classic hell raising London actor.
The writer Robert Stevenson also wrote bedknobs & broomsticks & mary poppins.

There are some seriously famous and talented actors in this film.
On the Scots side with the brilliant aid of to day's technology,

I looked up my mothers Holy Isle connection with the MacNeils of Barra
and even further back to our Irish descent from a prince of the Uí Néill dynasty.

Anyhow back to the film.... 8)

Different timeline, but The Cruel Sea from the fifties is an excellent production.
Life is your's to do with as you wish- do not let other's try to control it for you. Count Dusak- 1345.

What a spooky coincidence...the original book was written by Robert (Louis) Stevenson...no relation (I assume?)

I saw this film years ago...brilliant!
