A fightintheboys’quarters—Brian Roper, Keith Faulkner, Tony Newley (on the ground) and Harry Fowler in “ The Blue Peter.” Right: Kieron Moore as ex-P.O. W. turned Sea School Instructor shouts orders to boys under his command in "The Blue Peter.” Michael Redgrave, Dirk Bogarde, Jack Waiting and Bonar Colleano tensely watch a mine nearing their raft in " The Sea .Shall Not Have Them.” The Ship That Died of Shame was based on Nicholas Monsarrat’s short story of two R.N.V.R. officers who join forces after the war and use their old motor gun-boat for nefarious peace-time activities. For this the film- makers went to the south coast and from mid-September to the beginning of October, they worked at Weymouth, Poole, Portsmouth and Gosport. They had full co- operation from the Admiralty, particularly at Gosport, where they used some of the Gay class Motor Torpedo Boats. They used their own motor gun-boat, which was in civilian use, and was refurbished for its film role. The Sea School of the Outward Bound Trust at Aber- dovey was the setting of The Blue Peter. Kieron Moore took the leading role as an ex-prisoner of war from Korea who came home mentally upset and went there as an instructor. The hard physical course which is the basis of character training at this school was added to by unanticipated dangers which Kieron Moore and his twelve boys overcame. Many of the scenes were actually filmed at Aberdovey. The Sea Shall Not Have Them was a thrilling drama of the Air Sea Rescue launches and the wonderful work they did during the war. It also portrayed the imp>ortance of every single member of the crew in getting the utmost from a launch as it told the story of the hazardous rescue of an aircraft crew and their V.I.P. from the dinghy in which they drifted through an enemy minefield that protected its coast. Forrest Tucker and Eva Bartok starred in Break in the Circle, which told a story of nefarious undertakings and was filmed in Polperro and Germany.
