User Review - 8/10 by Tracey cIn 1942, Britain is trying hard to keep Malta while invasion seems imminent and Italians and Germans are regularly bombing the airfields and towns regardless. The RAF fight to survive against the odds using the few planes available. Flight Lt. Peter Ross, an archaeologist, is posted to Egypt but is stranded in Malta due to the air attacks. He is then asked to join the RAF squadron there as an air reconnaissance pilot. He meets Maria, a lovely Maltese girl working in the RAF operations room. The two fall in love and spend a few romantic hours in the Neolithic temples of Mnajdra and ?a?ar Qim on the island. In the meantime, the situation becomes desperate. Many civilians are buried daily under the rubble, and famine is threatening their survival, as relief convoys become easy prey to the numerous attacks by air. Peter proposes marriage to Maria although they realise that wartime is not favourable to love affairs, as her mother suggests. Nevertheless the young couple remain hopeful of the future. In the meantime, Maria?s brother is arrested while trying to infiltrate the island from Italy, obviously on a spying mission, for which he will be executed (which is based on the real story of Carmelo Borg Pisani). Maria?s mother lives a double drama. The island relies on the last few ships of a convoy for supplies. The scene of the heroic tanker SS Ohio (real footage) arriving half sunk in Valletta harbour is the apex of glory for the defenders and the island of Malta collectively receives the George Cross from Britain's King George VI. The RAF holds on, and is eventually able to take the offensive, targeting enemy shipping on its way to Rommel in Libya. Many air raids take place either to defend the island with Spitfires or a number of torpedo planes, like the Beauforts, which succeed in sinking Italian tankers. There comes the moment when the most important enemy convoy is on its way to Libya under cover of poor visibility. Peter's commanding officer (Jack Hawkins) needs desperately to locate this target and orders him to find it at any cost. Peter, flying in his Spitfire, finally finds it, but has to stay close to keep contact. He is attacked by six Messerschmitt Bf 109Fs. Peter stays calm, but cannot escape his fate; he is shot down and killed, while Maria in the operations room listens helplessly to his radio broadcasts.
User Review - 8/10 by Matt RA good movie based on fact. Very enjoyable to watch. The entry of the SS Ohio into Valetta harbour was all actual film footage and protrayed very well the conditions under which the Maltese lived during the war
User Review - 6/10 by Scott RAmbitious, but it fell short in the screenplay and direction. It's a shame because there was some good stuff here. It was a good time piece of WW2 and Malta.

User Review - 4/10 by Thomas PAll the right elements seemed to be there, but this one never came together. It did have its moments though.
User Review - 4/10 by Paul CA homage to the island's stoic resistance during World War 2, which has unfortunately dated badly and prooves Alex Guinness could not convincingly portray every role - here he fails miserably in the romance stakes, loing visibly uncomfortable.
User Review - 4/10 by Mark DAlec Guinness, great film actor though he was, was never a romantic lead... as this film proves. Cliched, predictable stuff, only partly salvaged by the dramatic finale in which we hear Alec's Spitfire being downed over the radio receiver.
User Review - 2/10 by Deric TUninteresting piece of ex post propaganda
