Synopsis
This British wartime drama focuses on the crucial battle for control of Malta. Lieutenant Peter Ross, a Royal Air Force reconnaissance photographer, gets shot down over Malta while flying to Egypt. Since he cannot get off the island, the British forces there employ his talents to help defeat the Nazis. Ross sets out to find and photograph the location of the Nazi forces attacking the island--but he still finds time to fall in love with Maria, a local girl. The film mixes archival combat footage with documentary-style re-enactments to create a realistic portrayal of the historic battle.

3.0 out of 5 stars A old friend , 4 Aug 2008
By Empe (Italy) - See all my reviews
A old war movie, with classical themes: cruel war, love, duty and friendship. Very "simple" for today standards, with a strange mix of good "in the air" scenes and "special effects" of years '50. The DVD is an occasion for a "time bath" in our first cinema experiences
