The Malta Story stars Alec Guinness as WW II camera reconnaissance pilot Peter Ross. Crash-landing in Malta, Ross presents his photographs to the resident air officer (Jack Hawkins). The photos reveal that the Italians are planning a major invasion of the island. Low on fuel and men, the officer is all but helpless as the Italians mount their attack. Only the last-minute arrival reinforcements and supplies prevent Malta from falling into the hands of the enemies--but the story doesn't end there. Filmed on location, The Malta Story boasts some exceptional aerial photography, not to mention excellent performances from Guiness, Hawkins, Anthony Steele, Muriel Pavlow, Flora Robson and the rest of the stellar cast.

Seller's Description:
Alec Guinness, Jack Hawkins, Anthony Steel, Muriel Pavlow, Flora Robson, Renée Ashershon. Fine in fine packaging. Language: English. Run time: 103 mins. Aspect ratio: 1.33: 1. Originally released: 1953.
Because this movie was made in 1945, in Malta, it is very accurate. The standard 4:3 black & white scenes filmed by military cameramen fit seamlessly with the dramatic sequences, which are, in some ways, reenactments of the experiences recorded by the Hurricane pilot, Tom Neil, in his memoir, Scramble. It is very moving to see actual footage of the tanker Ohio limping in from the convoy Pedestal (see Pedestal the Malta Convoy of 1942, Smith).
The audio & video of the DVD by VCI Entertainment are good, even on my ten foot screen.
