Rating: - Heroism without hysteria
Malta is known as "the George Cross island ",the George Cross being the highest award for bravery by civilians within the British Commonwealth .The island was rewarded for its collective heroism in World War Two when it staunchly resisted the efforts of the Germans to bomb it into submission and occupy the island .This movie recreates the assault and siege in a quiet, restrained and dignified manner.It is a clear eyed unsentimental movie that ,being shot on Malta itself,brings fully to life the ...

Rating:  - It really captures the atmosphere of the war era!
Some may think that old war movies can not be compared with the modern ones because of the lack of super high-tech effects and millions of dollars which current productions have in ambudance.

Rating: - A fitting tribute to the battle for Malta
The Malta Story is well worth watching, for it provides the viewer with a good, overall history lesson of the battle for Malta. That the British were able to hold off a German invasion on this small, isolated island testifies to the strong spirit shown by Great Britain throughout World War Two. In some ways, it reminds me of the battle for Corregidor, which was actually taking place during the same time. Of course, the circumstances and outcomes were different in both battles. By watching this movie, the ... Read More
