What Malta Story Is About
Malta, 1942. The island is under relentless German bombing; the siege drags on, the supplies run down, and everyone waits for the next wave. A British pilot who arrives there stays, carries on with his work, and falls in love with a young Maltese woman. Brian Desmond Hurst sets the daily weight of a siege underneath the love story: the shelters, the rationing, the number of serviceable aircraft dropping a little further every day. Alec Guinness plays the pilot and Jack Hawkins the commander trying to keep the island standing.
