SEA SHALL NOT HAVE THEM

Original British 27 inch x 40 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1954 Lewis Gilbert War Movie THE SEA SHALL NOT HAVE THEM, based on the novel by John Harris and starring Michael Redgrave, Dirk Bogarde, Anthony Steel, Nigel Patrick, Bonar Colleano, James Kenney, Sydney Tafler, Griffith Jones, Jack Watling, Guy Middleton, Ian Whittaker, Paul Carpenter, George Rose, Glyn Houston, Victor Maddern, Michael Balfour, Anton Diffring, Rachel Kempson, Joan Sims, Jack Lambert, Moultrie Kelsall, Nigel Green, Michael Ripper and Graham Stark.

During autumn 1944, a Royal Air Force Hudson carrying a very important 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. This movie’s title reflects the motto of the R.A.F.’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.
