About this product

Product Information

Peter O'Toole stars as Murphy, a stranded Irish merchant seaman who is the sole survivor of a WWII German U-boat attack in foreign waters. Rescued by Louis (Philippe Noiret), a French oil engineer, he is taken to a small village hospital and treated by Doctor Haiden (Sian Phillips), a strong-willed and beautiful British doctor. Despite the impending end of the war, Murphy is haunted by visions of the bloody attack on his boat and fellow sailors and will not rest until he has revenge.The German navy is still in hiding nearby; as Murphy recuperates, he learns of a derelict seaplane that he rebuilds in order to mount his own private campaign against the Germans. Against the backdrop of the remote tropical village, Murphy teaches himself how to fly the run-down plane, and with a rocky start and some daredevil flying he begins his plan of attack, making homemade explosives with Louis's help. Despite the threat of death and his ever-growing fascination with the beautiful doctor, Murphy is determined to win his own war and will not rest until he sees the German U-boat destroyed. This beautifully filmed saga, reminiscent of such wartime romances as THE AFRICAN QUEEN and TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, was based on the novel by Max Catto and shot on location in Venezuela.

    The title Murphy's War is perfect for this movie

    Every actor done their best in each scene with some action and some were on the injured list one got shot. I enjoyed this movie very much.

    One of Peter O’Toole better roles.

    Not a fan of Mr. O’Toole but this movie is just right for him. There are only a few main characters with the French caretaker/mechanic one of the best. The nursing sister is also very believable and does not over play her role (something O’Toole often does). Simple story with a bit of a surprise ending where the winner loses. The flying shots are the only real sore point as any non-flyer would have killed themselves straight away, but the “duck” is fun to watch anyway. Recommended light entertainment war film that shows another side to the futility of war.

    Interesting plot and characters, Grumman Duck in flight.

    Interesting plot and characters - Murphy's monomania somewhat reminiscent of Ahab's (ref. Moby Dick). Bonus for aviation buffs: Grumman Duck in flight.
