Malta Story (1953)
With Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins, Anthony Steel, Muriel Pavlow, Hugh Burden, Nigel Stock, Flora Robson
Directed by Brian Desmond Hurst
Malta Story is a 1953 British war film, directed by Brian Desmond Hurst, set during the air defence of Malta during the Siege of Malta in the Second World War. The film uses real and unique footage of the locations at which the battles were fought and includes a love story between an RAF reconnaissance pilot and a Maltese woman, as well as the anticipated execution of her brother, caught as an Italian spy. The pilot's character is loosely based on Adrian Warburton, and the Maltese woman's brother's is based on Carmelo Borg Pisani, who was executed in 1942.
