The Sea Shall Not Have Them
SURGING DRAMA! Excitement that leaps from the screen!
Overview
During the autumn of 1944, RAF Hudson, carrying a VIP passenger in possession of highly secret information, is shot down and ditches in the North Sea. Fighting the elements and trying to keep up morale, the occupants of the aircraft's dinghy talk about their lives awaiting the rescue they hope will come. The film's title reflects the motto of the RAF's Air Sea Rescue Service, one of whose high speed launches battles against its own mechanical problems, enemy action, time and the weather to locate and rescue the downed crew and the vital secret papers they carry.

Despite the fact that much of this film appears to have been filmed in a London lido, it still manages to engender quite a bit of peril. The passengers of a shot down plane are adrift in the Channel in a lifeboat with limited rations, cold and wet, praying for rescue before discovery by the Nazis or death by more long-drawn out means. It's got many of the usual ingredients of a wartime adventure, but is told in quite an interesting manner - each of the passengers having their few minutes of fame…
