Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Pinewood Studios

Sea Fury is a 1958 British action film directed by Cy Endfield and starring Stanley Baker, Victor McLaglen, Luciana Paluzzi and Grégoire Aslan. It was written by John Kruse and Endfield. It was the last film appearance from Victor McLaglen.

Production

Stanley Baker, Cy Endfield and produced Ben Fisz had previously teamed on Hell Drivers. "There is plenty of natural drama in the every-day jobs of men with physical contact with reality," said Endfield. "There have been a lot of dramas on the rarified psychological plain, but with the survival jobs, the basic jobs, the contact with reality is reduced to simple, basic terms. Cinematic."

Fisz said, "I think you get much more drama if you go down to the gutter. And if you go down to the gutter you might as well go all the way."

The film was one of several movies financed by Rank around this time aimed at the international market. This prompted the casting of American Victor McLaglen and Italian Luciana Paluzzi.

The film was shot in early 1959 at Pinewood Studios and on location on the Costa Brava in Spain, where Rank had filmed The Spanish Gardener. Filming finished 3 April 1958 at Pinewood Studios.
