Most of this film was acted in Malta. I can recognise every scene, I was born in Malta and live in Malta and in my childhood I roamed on every bit of Maltese land shown in this film.
This movie taught me where Malta was in relation to the Med... After nearly 50 years. It's my intention to visit and explore too.
Sooo your a Malta 🇲🇹 kinda of a guy or girl
You have a beautiful home island. Love those stone buildings.
@@fernandofierro7958 Well, I was born in Malta, then at the age of 16 left Malta and stayed many years abroad in other countries including 16 years in England, then after many years, I returned back to Malta.
Sooo I do not think that makes me , " Sooo your a Malta 🇲🇹 kinda of a guy or girl"
One cannot take things for granted or make such relations, as in the case of your own name, " Fernando Fierro " where I suppose there is nothing made of " iron" or " metallic" about you.
@@tryarunm Yes, it was a beautiful island, but now it is being ruined by too much building and overpopulation and too many tourists and traffic forced on us,
This is not the average war film, it is a sobering film showing the brutal reality of the physical conflicts plus the destructiveness of the inner conflicts and resulting mental illness and breakdown of relationships.
War Is Hell on Earth 😢

James Franciscus, 1970. The production/ cinematography is superb. When they were still trying to make the images clearer, instead of the current trend of making every shot murky, dark, and fuzzy so they don’t have to produce good imagery. This reminds me of the early bond films in many ways.
James Franciscus was very handsome and a pretty decent actor! In all the war movies, especially the older black and white movies, the English always threw in a snobbish remark against the American soldiers. One thing I liked is, the Americans never retaliated when they produced their war movies and Englishmen were included, which showed maturity!❤
@@marjorjorietillman856 Come to think of it, you're probably right. I do seem to remember that Admiral King, USN, was an Anglophobe. I never heard why but I did hear or read that he really hated the Brits.
James Franciscus sounds just like Larry Hagman.
I could have sworn it was Charlton Heston, so was looking for the name in the credit roll, but saw James Franciscus. Did a search and the two do look alike.
@@StofStuiver wow! I don't see much resemblance, but the general shape of their faces is the same. Same grimace and smile expressions too.
It's cool to see the immense old fortifications of Malta that were built by the Knights of St. John.
"How the Maltese suffered in WW2"? Please read The Kappillan of Malta by Nicholas Monserrat. Sums up so much. My spelling is deplorable.
@@darylburnet8328I'm not a spelling or grammar cop. Very brief overview of the book's perspective, please.
@@JohnRodriguesPhotographer Read it a Long timeago in the 70's,
My cousin was a Spitfire Pilot stationed at Malta, R.I.P.
Enjoyed this war movie.Good cast,plenty of action and beautiful scenery around the coast of Malta. That was a dangerous mission to undertake but they accomplished it brilliantly.Thanks for screening
❤
I like the way everyone points loaded guns at each other, and uses pistols as pointers. Almost like none of them had any firearms training. Great upload. Worth the watch.
Then in combat, they never aim. Just shoot full auto from the hip, and never run out of ammo. LOL
A very under-rated war film. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting this good movie! According to the closing credits, it was actually filmed in Malta. I like that scenic realism. The personal troubles of the characters was also realistic. The movie makers also didn't sugar coat the battle scenes. Characters got hurt and killed on both sides. This movie was well done, but without any unneeded extra stuff.😊 My eyes are very light sensitive, so I have the brightness on my tablet set to about halfway. This is usually enough, but I should have made it brighter for this movie, as the nighttime sea scenes were too dark on the halfway setting. At least I didn't have to watch it on my smart phone's tiny screen. That thing died at the beginning of February. After discussing things with my computer geek brother, I got a 10 inch tablet with one of those rugged kid covers. We both feel that anything smaller wouldn't be as nice a viewing size, and anything bigger would be awkward and clunky to handle. It's great for watching any kind of movie, including old war movies like this one. Alright, alright, for those who may be curious, the kid cover is a nice tropical blue.😂
The radio controlled glide bombs were top secret during the war. Dropped from a bomber out of range of ship then remote controlled to it's target. One glide bomb could sink a ship. When first used the allies didn't realize what happened
Didn't one go down the funnel of KG 5? (Off Anzio?)
@@alexhayden2303 One did destroy a turret on the HMS Warspite.
If only the Brits were smart enough to draft McHale the Skipper & Gilligan. The Germans woulda been laughing so hard they wouldn't been able to hit the broad side of the barn and probably everyone else involved too.
It was an ingenious wicked weapon capable of sinking any type of ship except a heavy battleship over 40,000 tons.
One certainly sank the Dido class Cruiser HMS Spartan, 29th January 1944, while she was off Anzio; hit abaft the funnel and went clean through her. My uncle, aged 19, was killed in the sinking. @@alexhayden2303
A LOT OF TRUTH IN THESE OLD MOVIES LOVE IT THANK YOU
When I was a kid, my uncle, a ships gunner in the Navy, in WWII, would sometimes get drunk and talk about war at sea. He would sometimes cry. He brought back a rifle from the war. A British 303.
I have a Enfield number 4 mark 2 and a number 5 mark 1 in my collection I have other WW2 weapons but my favorite is a Steyr manufactured 1944 98k sniper my second is my springfield1903a4 sniper
i had a british 303 years ago, very good rifle
I'm retired from the royal navy I know how your uncle feels .
I saw this as a kid mid 70s...thanks for the memories.
The type of movies I grew up on as a kid. For the time they were amazing~Man, imagine, all those model makers employed. The British were always portrayed as upper class sophistication and chivalry with duty to country and fellow man.... The sheer amount of snow white cloth by the truck load... wow.
Portugues
When you chop a movie down, you f*** up a good movie!
Especially when it's badly chopped. The fighting scenes in Sicily were so jumpy.
Having watched the original version, there's quite a bit been cut. Is this because UA-cams seniors? Everything to protect us from anything that won't make a U certificate.
The E boat was bigger and better armed then our PT boats, the Germans made a magnificent but deadly fighting machine in these death boats.
I'm sure I read somewhere that the E Boats were running diesel motors, so nowhere near as flammable either. Brit MTB's and MGB's were floating bombs (See Op Chariot for details).
See@@timgrenville-cleave2848
No
Years ago I read a book about torpedo boat vs torpedo boat battles in the Mediterranean Sea during WWII. I can't remember the title or author. Can anyone be of assistance?
also far more seaworthy
It's Unbelievable that a movie about the Naval battles that raged during Guadalcanal operation has Never been made. Many major battles were fought between the U.S. Navy and the IJN navy in the Solomon Islands 1942/43 Savage Nightly battles were fought trying to stop the "Tokyo Express" from resupplying the Japanese on Guadalcanal. In fact 4 U.S. Sailors died for every one Marine, during that fighting.
What is the UN Navy??
Oh I see! IJN. Misread it.
Maybe because the U.S. Navy and other Allied ships did not perform too well in those battles?
A Japanese submarine fired one salvo of 6 torpedoes in late 1942, as part of all those battles for Guadalcanal. That single salvo of 6 torpedoes:
A. Sunk an American aircraft carrier.
B. Sunk an American destroyer.
C. Damaged an American battleship so badly, that it had to slowly crawl back to the U.S., to lick its wounds.
What a great movie would be about this subject alone !
@@FlorinSutu Or the Battleship USS Washington Under the command of the U.S. Navy's Admiral Lee, Sunk The IJN Battleship Kiroshima, at night with Radar directed 16 inch guns. Each Side lost 24 major capitol ships. Each side lost around 350 aircraft. However, the Japanese lost the Island and the bloody campaign and five times as many men.
The Japanese were superb night fighters. Their ship captains were trained to immediately fire with out orders. They had a super torpedo with a 22 mile range. Out torpedo only worked hf the time.
I've always loved that movie. I am very glad that you had it. Thanks very much for the great entertainment 😀
J'ai passé une très bonne soirée merci film très agréable
These special effects made me wonder when Godzilla would make it's appearance.
So glad 1 American could show the Royal Navy how to get the job done !
(That's sarcasm by the way)
Sarcasm? Really? How unBritish!! Shame!.
Great. Movie. Nice location great looking cast. Thanks for upload
The modelmaking is top notch. Bravo!
Its great to watch films like this. The young actors were all fit and handsome!
And women not all look like kardasian ducks
@@WimvdBrink quackquack
Great. Movie. And. Perfect. 🎉🎉🎉 💯💢💢💫💣
The German E boats had a huge advantage over us and UK torpedo boats. They had diesel engines.
gas engines were lighter and faster pt boats were made of plywood and top secret. nothing was faster on the water and speed kills we learned that from the Germans.
@@Theodorussfo yes but one incendiary she'll in the right place and BOOM. That doesn't happen with diesel.
@@ianturpin9180 American PT boats had self sealing fuel bladders like the aircraft.
@@ianturpin9180 PT boats went in for the kill at 3/4 throttle by the time the target ship had calibrated speed and position so they could target the PT they had already let go their torpedos turned about and were running at full speed making a hit from artillery impossible. A lucky shot would have been the end of the Pt regardless of engine because it was made of plywood.
They lost.
I love those machine guns that never need reloading. Master Chief, USN Ret.
A common failing of military movies: they have no clue what a military haircut looks like.
Not just that. The movies back then, tended to be lazy about 1940's women's hairstyles. (Non existent)
Yeah. Even in the Barber of Seville they cocked it up.
Nice upload, thanks for sharing
Love Malta!
Great music by Frank Cordell, who also did "Mosquito Squadron" and "Khartoum". Elizabeth Shepherd was in "The Tomb of Legeia" with Vincent Price.
Fort St Rocco and Kalkara is very beautiful and storyline is awesome.
This was a great movie to watch, great location
If they only have a couple boats seaworthy out of 9 they should have plenty of extra sailors for the boats. Even with casualties.
Very good film! On a par with "The Guns of Navaronne" and "Operation Crossbow."
I like this film because one of the actors In Malta is also in the TV show Crossroads with Meg Richsrdson played by Noel Gordon
I found the gun battle on the island ludicrous. The way they were waving those sub-machine guns around you would think they thought they were magic wands. If they were twenty feet away they would be lucky to hit a barn door. Instead they were 50 feet or more. You can fire from the hip, but it must be a stable hold. Recoil alone would knock the gun into the air from the way they manoeuvred. Did they really have an armourer and adviser for this film? Whats with the model boats they used in some of the scenes? They obviously did it on the cheap.
Good movie
This was made when movies had class. You can tell because the romance scenes have oboe music as background. Not that cheap "bow chicka bow wow" crap in 70s movies.
This was released in 1970 - so probably only just escaped it!
@@dolvaranI think the person conflated romance with porn.
That was a pretty good movie.
Great War movie
Nice movie, professional actors, nice storyline. Excellently made.
Okay, I'll be the creep that points out that somebody cut out the beach scene with the gratuitous nipple slip.
... Picasso (?) "you influence the (art)work, the work influences you" - removing a nipple from any work of art is childish, and biologically and psychologically sterilizing,.. why must it always be about the victorian age - being safe from reality,...
@@robertbruce7497 Maybe because most movies coming out of the U.S. at that time had, what I would call, "gratuitous" nudity which had absolutely NOTHING to do with the plot.
Magnificent movie!
Excellent movie. One of the best of the ww2 movies.
What a film that is fabulous!
Love 🎥's
Amazing guns that do not need reloading.
Battery powered
@@vonlouie77 Ok or require recharging. :)
The British guns were mainly 9 mm.
submachinegun, rifle, pistol, revolver? . . . 9 mm - so were Lugers, one of the Nazis' most recognizable sidearms, a semi-automatic pistol. @@williambean8211
"geraldmiller5260," I noticed that too and thought 'typical.'
However, 45:53 - 46:01, how refreshing to see American commando Jeffords' resourcefulness when he strips a magazine from the dead Nazi soldier's submachinegun immediately after removing his gun's depleted magazine. [How SLOPPY and CARELESS of the sound effects editor who includes the sound of the metal of the empty magazine hitting the hard cement
but not metal-on-metal with the insertion / reloading.]
Realistically, in addition to the UNLIMITED rounds of available ammo, I'll wager in a real firefight like we see here -- repeatedly -- the indiscriminate 'spraying' of a full magazine's capacity from left to right, up and down, ALL OVER -- repeatedly -- would have been replaced with wise, deliberate SHORT BURSTS of well aimed shots..
Excellent movie.

good movie, first time ive seen it
Great movie!
Never heard of a convoy in the Channel. Several single boats has passed through.
Good movie 🎉
Every time I watch an American or English war movie, I wonder why it took 6 years to defeat the Germans in World War II. Just the fact that the machine guns of the British seem to be more effective than the 2cm guns of the German fast boats. Well,
a little fun fact for all history enthusiasts, neither the Fritz X bomb nor the HS 293 glider bomb were used before August 1943. So much for realism in this movie.
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
Thanks ❤my dad fought in Korea
Good upload, thanks.
If they are preparing for a critical mission and only have 3 boats, why would the ever go attack a German convoy?
Pure rubbish
If you like PT Type boats I highly recomend two books published by Squadron. Schnell Boats in Action and PT Boats in Action. Very informative. Lots of detail, pictures and color schemes. Both out of print but could possibly be found or ordered through used book store. Worth it.
Also Vosper MTB in Action.
Thanks! Appreciate it👍
In real life they went into combat with vest on.
It would be nice to see the opening credits. I know James Franciscus, but who else was in it?
. . . = Ce film aussi en langue > FRANCOPHONE < Merci .
this film = also in French language = would be great! An admirer of Switzerland.
Boy I sure like these "full" movies... as opposed to the, other kind ??? The un-full ones I guess.
The Navy has the best looking uniforms,I especially love the shorts!
What about the legs just below?
Best actor is the geezer from Crossroads Motel,and James Franciscus
I was on Malta a while, Hellfire base .a real rock .
Good movie!!!

Great movie. When did this come out?
1970
@@maverick9895 Thank You for the information
P t boats rock
They're called MTB (motor torpedo boats). You're thinking of the US Navy who call them PT boats (Patrol, Torpedo).
Abandon ship without life jackets .Now there's a good idea . Fony old film.😊
Thank you so so much. You tube the amount of commercials aren't even worth watching the movie. There's so many of them.
Agreed. UA-cam would rather turn off viewers than turn down the number of ads. Money, money, money - that's all it's about today.
Loved it
I never knew what an "E Boat" was until just two days ago. The "E Boats" were all electric U Boats that could charge their batteries via a snorkel at periscope depth, and could stay submerged for many days. If the Germans had mass produced these Boats, they would have won the war. They were much more expensive than the regular Type VII C Boats were. They could dive deeper, and run faster submerged than any other subs could.
E-boats were as you see in this old movie. The Germans called them S-Boats (Schnellboote, or 'fast boats'). All diesel-electric submarines, on all sides, in WW2 could charge their batteries at periscope depth and remain submerged for days if necessary.
Yes, Germany did build 118 advanced type 21 diesel-electric U-boats, each with a pair of MAN diesel engines and three times the usual battery capacities. They were optimized for operation submerged, but they were still just diesel-electrics. This new class arrived too late, but no matter. As we had cracked their naval codes we were sinking them as fast as they hit the Atlantic. We sank most of the German submarine fleet and, in total, killed about 30,000 German submariners. The majority simply vanished, ambushed by patrol aircraft.
I was expecting Meg Richardson to appear with Amy Turtle in tow carrying a mop.
Good call
Cmdr. Niles from Warship good show
So MTB means Made to Blow Up? These boats take a few machine gun rounds and just go BOOM!!!! This movie should be rated MTB.
Ramming a steel-hulled E-boat with a wooden PT Boat not a good idea
Good war picture. Im glad that I took the time to watch it. Nothing like a chick to almost come between two officers right at the time of a big mission lol.
That was a fun romp!
Wow...I saw this as a CBS movie of the week back in the 70s, when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I thought it was so great back then. (I remember this well because we couldn't say "hell" in my house.) But, looking at it 50 years later, it is painfully primitive, low budget filmmaking. Lots of rear projection screen shots...along with enough plastic model work to make a Godzilla movie! Still...it was a kick seeing it after all these years.
Pretty good.
Good one-TY
Where can I get one of those submachine guns that have the worlds smallest 1000 round magazines?
I can see the need for it when it takes 150 rounds to drop a German soldier 20 feet away 🙄🤦♂️
If the Germans would have had that big number of sentinels planted everywhere and doing nothing, they would not have had soldiers available for the front lines.
Fritz X and the HS 293 were the two most used glide bombs used by the German Luftwaffe
during WW II. It was the first use of stand off , remotely piloted amart bombs.
HS=293 was not a glide bomb. It was a rocket powered miniature plane with radio control. It only took the Brits a few months to figure out how it worked and jam the radio signals.
@@neoconshooter Sorry I meant to say smart bombs.
@@neoconshooter Did the germans eventually fo to wire guiding control systems?
I believe the Mistel 'piggyback system' was successful one time. The US used war weary bombers controlled by AZON on sub pens. Not sure of success rate. Joseph Kennedy's oldest son was killed in this experiment!
I've not heard the term "stand off bomb" for years.
exellent all around effort
Hate the way Franciscus returns a salute. It’s like he’s throwing a grenade - amateurish.
More information about production of these movies would be appreciated; date released, studio, actors, director, etc.
try wikipedia or imdb
Good authenticity, why didn't they call the bombs "Fritz X" which is what they were.
yes Malta is an nice place to visit
It's on my bucket list.
It's hard to take a man in knee socks seriously. 😂😂😂
Odd that the Royal Navy used lieutenant not “leftenant” in Malta?
Balang riverside watching
Lucky for the British troops and the Maltese, Hitler's didn't want to use his paratroopers again to take Malta like they did with Crete mainly because Hitler assumed such an assault on the island would be a failure.
3:07)US citizens were transferred to the US military. I knew a man who went to the Army from the Canada Army commandos. He joined 1939.

I gave up in the first few minutes. First the German crew just dematerialised after the collision, leaving no Germans needing help. Then the other e-boat shooting the men in the water. Totally biased & unrealistic.
