Malta Story

Hi Scott & Co,
Just picked up the thread on the movie ideas. A great book for Malta is 'The Capilan of Malta' by Nicholas Monsarat (sp?) - fiction, but a great way of getting a feel for the island, the people and the battles.
There was the Alec Guiness movie 'Malta Story' made (IIRC) during the war - I've not seen it, but I'm sure it's gung-ho and stiff upper lip!
Malta in W.W.II would make a great 3 parter indeed, the subs, the Faith Hope & Charity myth, the Ohio story, visit by Eisenhower, on and on...
Cheers
James
