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....

Re: Kidnapped 1960
Different timeline, but The Cruel Sea from the fifties is an excellent production.
