WORLD WAR TWO lS ENDlNG, WORLD WAR MURPHY HAS JUST BEGUN...
lconic actor Peter O’Toole (Lawrence of Arabia, The Stunt Man) joins forces with director Peter Yates (BuIIit, The Friends of Eddie Coyle) in this bIisteringly acerbic, wildly entertaining fiIm about the absurdity of war.
During the last days of WWll, the merchant ship ‘Mount Kyle’ is sunk by a German U-boat off the coast of VenezueIa and the sailors machine-gunned in the water. OnIy Murphy (O’Toole) survives, making his way to shore where he is nursed to health by Dr. Hayden (Sian PhiIIips), a pacifist Quaker who runs a missionary settIement near the mouth of the Orinoco River. When Murphy discovers that the U-boat is now hiding further up the river using the jungle for cover, he becomes obsessed with retribution and begins a one man war to sink the German U-boat, no matter the cost.
With a script by StirIing SiIliphant (ln the Heat of the Night, The Poseidon Adventure), cinematography by the Iegendary DougIas Slocombe (The Italian Job, Raiders of the Lost Ark) and a supporting cast that incIudes PhiIippe Noiret (La Grande Bouffe, Cinema Paradiso) and Horst Janson (Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter, Shout at the DeviI), Murphy’s War is an underseen gem.
