30 Dec The Sea Wolves
(1980) It might get off to a slow start but wait just a bit. Things happen fast.
This true story takes place on the coast of India, in the Portuguese colony Goa. I had to do a little research to discover how very important India was to the Allied cause during World War II.
The Sea Wolves, WWII Movie starring Gregory Peck and David Niven
Gregory Peck and Roger Moore are British both intelligence officers. In 1980, Roger Moore was also filming his 007 movies, and he appears to be quite the same light-hearted playboy here. Until he discovers that someone is a Nazi spy!
Most of the supporting actors play the parts of retired soldiers who are seizing the opportunity to return to action in order to carry out a top-secret mission. I loved watching David Niven who at 70 was the leader of the Senior Citizens (the Light House Brigade.) Niven died only 3 years later … but not until he had made two more Pink Panther movies.
