"The Malta Story" - C-Minus - Stodgy British post-war affair that takes what should be a thrilling story of a tiny island and its British garrison holding out against the might of the Luftwaffe and turns it into mush. Alec Guiness totally miscast and wasted. He wanders around for an hour and a half with this silly half smile on his face and about as much real emotion as a chamber pot. Jack Hawkins gives it his best but the whole enterprise is undone by a terrible script and wooden acting. Sigh what could've been. The only decent thing in the whole movie are all the glorious Spits and Beaufighters flitting about.

When I start looking at the jackets they're wearing or old cars in the movie instead
of the story content...that's a sure sign to make my exit !
Thanks for the warning Worf...
