Hell Boats
Their job: HIT IT HEAD-ON! Their target: HELL-ON-EARTH!
A mid-century war drama balancing naval action and romantic tension against the backdrop of Malta's WW2 patrol boat operations.
A war drama of motor torpedo boats which did much unsung work in WW2, but the naval battles merely provide an exciting story in which an even more special romantic drama is wrapped up.
