London: J. Arthur Rank Organisation, 1953. Vintage black-and-white reference photograph of Renee Asherson, Jack Hawkins, and Anthony Steel from the 1953 UK film. Distributor rubber-stamp on the verso, and shadow where a mimeograph snipe (present) was once affixed.

Based on Hugh P. Lloyd's book, "Briefed to Attack" (1949), about Britain's waning control of the island of Malta in WWII. Archival footage of air and sea battles was used to build context around the romantic plot.
