Id forgotten Burt had gone, at 85 in 2016. The one thing that movies do....is freeze people and give them a funny kind of immortality where they never grow old. It is sobering and frightening as people you have watched all your life continue to pass away.

THE WHOLE TRUTH was a 1958 murder yarn, based on the 1955 play of the same name by Philip Mackie. It was filmed at the Walton Studios, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England. Romulus Films had bought the motion picture rights to Mackie's play, intending to film a co-production with Twentieth-Century Fox which would co-star Stewart Granger and his then wife, Jean Simmons. But the deal fell through, Donna Reed replaced Simmons, and the film ended up being released by Columbia. Andre Maranne had a bit part as a car owner. John Guillermin and Dan Cohen directed the film. Mischa Spoliansky provided the score, which was played by Johnny Dankworth and His Orchestra, as conducted by Lambert Williamson. THE WHOLE TRUTH had a well-below-average U.S. box office take of $1.3 million.

The story for H.M.S. DEFIANT flipped the script on MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY. On the titular ship, during the French Revolutionary Wars, fair-minded "Captain Crawford" (Alec Guinness) is locked in a battle of wills against his cruel second-in-command "Lt. Scott-Paget" (Dirk Bogarde) whose heavy-handed command style pushes the crew to mutiny. Guinness made the film during a two-month break in the shooting of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, when the production moved from Jordan to Spain. Upon finishing this 1962 film, Guinness resumed his LAWRENCE role of "Prince Faisal." André Maranne played “Colonel Giraud” in the film. The film was director Lewis Gilbert's second for producer John Brabourne. When Columbia Pictures brought the film to the U.S. market, knowing that the initials "H.M.S." would carry little meaning for Americans, they re-titled it DAMN THE DEFIANT! Clifton Parker's score was released on a Colpix LP, which was re-issued on CD by Film Score Monthly in 2007. The DEFIANT sank at the American box office, grossing just $800,000.
