Film / Film Music: The Sea Wolves / Precious Moments
Special Tribute:
In heartfelt remembrance of Sir Roger Moore who passed away today, May 24, 2017 (Sydney time). James Bond 007, Simon Templar of "The Saint", Lord Brett Sinclair of "The Persuaders," and more... Rest in Peace, Sir Roger Moore, and with much gratitude, thank you for all the joys and excitement you've provided in the comfort of the living room.
Below is a video of the popular song "Precious Moments" sung by Matt Monro, (lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and composed by Richard Addinsell), from the film The Sea Wolves staring Gregory Peck, Roger Moore and David Niven.
The Sea Wolves (Film), Briefly:
The Sea Wolves is a 1980 war film. It is atrue WW2 story: the British must attack a German ship but it's safe in neutral Goa. So they send civilians, ex-soldiers about 60 years old.
The film is based on the book Boarding Party by James Leasor, which itself is based on a real incident that took place in World War II. The incident involved Operation Creek, the Calcutta Light Horse's covert attack on 9 March 1943 against a German merchant ship, which had been transmitting information to U-boats from Mormugão Harbour in neutral Portugal's territory of Goa.
