Tuesday 20th Sept, at 12:55pm UK time on Channel 4, the 1958 classic The
Silent Enemy.
The story of Buster Crabb and his exploits against the Italian navy based in
"neutral" Spain. Some shots el kwari before concrete and dolphins, IIRC.

Interesting to see Sid James in a straight role, or is that a
strait role :)

What has Flash Gordon got to do with Gib...? :~)

Yes, an excellent fact-based story. Slow paced though. In one of the scenes,
might be at the South Mole, there appears in the background what looks like
the frame, or part of, the Shore Based Mortar, so described by George Palao
(Gibraltar's undisputed greatest historian) in his book Our Heritage.

Yes but nobody wanted to see my home movies on DVD from 1966 which even

That says more about you than the subject.

Sid was never my hero. Hancock, now he was something else!

Didn't he do a comic strip in front of the bathroom mirror? About to brush
his teeth, he looks at himself and says teeth (showing his teeth), and then
goes off with a string of teeth...teeth..teeth...teeth...! :))

Watch the film, its actually quite good, and although some of the
plot is enhanced, the underwater photography is amazing and
none of it computer generated - they did it for real.
There was another tactic to deter the Italians, the man on guard
duty on the North Mole chucked a grenade in every so often.

It's a good, interesting, historical, fact based story filmed on location.
Watching the "kwari" scene, I can almost smell that unique intoxicating
concoction of fig-tree and sea breeze that wafts around the exit of the
second tunnel along passed Parson's Lodge. Nothing beats Gib!
Did we not have an underwater chainmesh closing the entrance between
Detached Mole and the North and South Moles?
