Flight from Singapore is a 1962 British drama film directed and written by Dudley Birch and starring Patrick Allen, Patrick Holt and William Abney. [1] [2]
Two ex-RAF pilots set-up an airline between Singapore and Hong Kong. They run into trouble when their plane crash lands.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Despite the familiar ingredients of storm and air crash, this film creates little or no suspense – particularly since the rescue plan goes "according to the book". It is altogether an unusually platitudinous affair, and some of the dialogue – particularly that assigned to the two women in the cast – verges on the ludicrous." [3]
