The Silent Enemy is a black and white 1958 British action film, directed by William Fairchild and starring Laurence Harvey, Dawn Addams, Michael Craig and John Clements. Based on Marshall Pugh's 1956 book Commander Crabb, the film follows the publicity created by Lionel Crabb's mysterious disappearance and likely death during a Cold War incident two years earlier .The film depicts events in Gibraltar harbour during the World War II Italian frogman and manned torpedo attacks, although the film's depiction of the events is highly fictionalised. It was the first Universal Pictures film in SuperScope.
Production
The film was announced in June 1957. Filming took place in England, Malta and Gibraltar. Star Laurence Harvey regularly worked for Romulus Films, who produced the movie.
Harvey was injured in the leg and hospitalised during filming in Malta.
Michael Craig had been suspended by the Rank Organisation for refusing the lead in The Gypsy and the Gentleman (1958) but was removed from the project after James Woolf of Romulus Films offered Craig's annual salary to Rank. Craig said that Laurence Harvey "was good company, generous to his friends and, in spite of his reputation as a user, I liked him a lot."
