Nasty councillor Mr Bates doesn't like them and wants the team his son plays for to win instead so he makes life as difficult as he can for them.

Malta Story (1953)

Against this background, a RAF reconnaissance photographer's romance with a local girl is endangered as he tries to plot enemy movements.

Another Shore (1948)

A young Irishman comes up with an unusual plan to get the money to emigrate to Tahiti. One of the Ealing comedies.
