Re: films
Yes indeed William
Some of the old Films were the best,and like you I also like the Cruel Sea !
There are of course many more but to many to mention!
Casablanca is one of my all time greats,have watched it so many times,never tire of it!
Another good one was "On the Waterfront"
"The Man with the Golden Arm"
"Sunset Boulevard"
'The Third Man"
'Maltese Falcon"
Could go on but!!
Cheers

#2 Doc, "The Third man I agree, especially the musical score
My favourite though stars Spencer Tracy named Emanuel? in the film as a seaman looking after a "poor little rich boy". Brings a tear to a glass eye. Unfortunately cannot remember the name of the film.

Re: films
Thank you Doc, Only read the book "Old man and the sea"
Cappy like yourself suggested the correct name of the film in which I bawled my eyes out as a youngster one Sunday afternoon around 1966
