as ifield prepared to saw her body in half , huntley’s eyes flickered open – and the scene cut to the credits , leaving the audience with a whole load of questions . chief among them : is tim ifield the balaclava man ?

patrick ' s revelations were all the more surprising , as he ' d spent much of the interview evading even the possibility of sharing any spoilers ; he even pulled out a box containing the sweet treat baklava - a play on balaclava - to distract the hosts .

“we’re particularly interested in hearing from anybody who may have seen a gentleman , probably in his late 20s , early 30s wearing a balaclava , of slight but strong build running from the back of the house , running to the carrickbrach road area of howth , ” said supt gilligan .

three clues point to the theory that tim ifield is fishy : 1 ) he has taken police evidence back to his home , 2 ) he owns a balaclava identical to the one worn by the murder suspect , and 3 ) he goes to dismember huntley like one of the previous two victims .

it’s possible that after believing he’d killed huntley , ifield decided to try and frame balaclava man for the murder . the way he panics when he thinks she’s dead certainly makes it seem like he’s not a seasoned killer – and the scuffle all comes across as rather accidental . so instead of simply hiding the body , he attempts to pin the crime on a criminal everyone’s already after .

a british officer is falsely accused of murder by a rival officer , and is dishonorably discharged from the army . he rejoins as an enlisted man and is posted as a cavalryman to the siege of sebastopol during the crimean war . he discovers that there is a russian spy masquerading as a british soldier , and his efforts to unmask the spy results in the famous charge of the light brigade to take the balaclava heights .

c . thomas howell ( tyler - - bmx friend with balaclava ) became an ' 80s favourite in coppola ' s ' the outsiders ' , ' the hitcher ' and ' soul ' man . as an adult , he appeared in ' summerland ' ( as zac efron ' s father ) , the remake of ' the poseidon adventure ' and most recently as a crane operator in ' the amazing spider - man ' . . .

this is the theory we’re more inclined to lean towards – there’s something about the idea of ifield as the serial killer that doesn’t quite click . yes , he has a balaclava in his bag which is unexplained and more than a tad sinister and forces us to at least pose the question of his guilt . but surely he wouldn’t call ac - 12 into an investigation if he wanted to keep his real identity hidden ? no one’s that ballsy .

a chronicle of events that led to the british involvement in the crimean war against russia and which led to the siege of sevastopol and the fierce battle of balaclava on october 25 , 1854 which climaxed with the heroic , but near - disastrous cavalry charge made by the british light brigade against a russian artillery battery in a small valley which resulted in the near - destruction of the brigade due to error of judgment and rash planning on part by the inept british commanders .

macnaughton continued to work on stage and sporadically in film ( 1983 ' s ' i am the cheese ' ) before giving up acting to work as a mail handler , firstly in phoenix , arizona , then new jersey . now 46 , he has a young son , noah , who described ' e . t . ' as " the movie where daddy pretends to be a little boy " .

coyote has worked consistently in film and tv over the past 30 years including collaborations with roman polanski ( ' bitter moon ' ) , pedro almodovar ( ' kika ' ) , steven soderbergh ( ' erin brockovich ' ) and brian de palma ( ' femme fatale ' ) . his resonant henry fonda - esque voice has also narrated feature documentaries like ' enron : the smartest guys in the room ' , the national geographic explorer series and an episode of ' lost ' . yet despite his high work - rate , acting isn ' t the be all and end all for coyote .

thomas , now aged 40 , has pretty much averaged a film a year since e . t . , starring as the young norman bates in ' psycho iv ' and with supporting turns in legends of the fall , gangs of new york and dear john . recently assaying county music icon hank williams in ' the last ride ' , he will next be seen as phillip whalen , a contemporary of beat writer jack kerouac in ' big sur ' . " he was single - handedly responsible for bringing zen buddhism to san francisco , " says thomas . " i ' m interested in people who have such strong convictions . "

peter coyote first met spielberg after giving a clumsy audition for the director - - " i walked into the room and tripped over a lamp " - - reading for ' indiana jones ' . coyote ' s performance as keys - - so - called because we initially identify him through his bunch of keys - - required a gear - shift from enigmatic government agent to benevolent father figure and coyote handles it beautifully . " i loved the character that i played in the film , " remembers peter coyote , " because steven allowed him to be compassionate and sensitive . he was saying , you can still keep the best part of being a child when you grow up . "

macnaughton had received strong reviews for his off - broadway role in ' the diviners ' when he landed on spielberg ' s radar . as elliott ' s older teen brother michael , he spent his on - set days bonding with henry thomas , tormenting drew barrymore - - " i feel a little guilty about that " - - but he will never forget meeting the film ' s title star . " the first time i saw ' e . t . ' was when i saw him in the movie for the first time and knock the shelves down , " he remembers . " i did not know the shelves were coming down either which added to the shock value . it really enhanced my reaction . "

for sweet precocious gertie , spielberg chose sweet precocious drew barrymore . the third generation of the barrymore acting clan , drew , who ' d appeared in tv commercials since aged 2 , originally met spielberg for carol anne in ' poltergeist ' and blew the director away with tales of being in a punk rock band . despite her own capacity for suspension of disbelief - - " there were a lot of different elements but no matter what , e . t . was always very real to me . " - - spielberg used different tactics to draw out barrymore ' s performance , including dressing up as a bag lady for the halloween sequence . " it was brilliant and he looked really great too . " for spielberg , who became barrymore ' s godfather , " drew was meant to be in this movie . she became my best friend on the film . "

" i chose dee because dee was like a kid herself , " steven spielberg says about casting dee wallace . " i didn ' t feel like i was violating my rule not to have adults in the film until the very end . " at that point , wallace was the best known of the e . t . cast , starring in cult horror flicks ' the hills have eyes ' ad ' the howling ' plus dudley moore comedy ' 10 ' . " steven is a master at casting , " she says . " he originally saw me doing call girls and hookers and put me into his mother . " dressing up as a cat woman for ' halloween ' , wallace ' s mary is movingly trying to keep the pain of her marriage break while her kids are growing up , discovering new words . " i love the penis - breath line in the movie because it showed that mary was different from other moms , " wallace remembers . " instead of getting upset , the line cracks her up . "

straight after ' e . t . ' , barrymore segued into stephen king adaptation ' firestarter ' . after overcoming well - documented drug and alcohol problems , she worked steadily throughout the ' 90s , becoming an unofficial queen of romantic comedies such as ' the wedding singer ' , ' 50 first dates ' , ' music and lyrics ' and ' he ' s just not that into you ' . her production company flower films have produced the ' charlie ' s angels ' movies and ' donnie darko ' , itself with twisted echoes of ' e . t . ' she made her feature film directorial debut with roller - derby romp ' whip it ' and was last seen in family drama ' big miracle ' . but she never under - estimates the importance of her ' e . t . ' experience . " i really think that ' e . t . ' taught me there were no boundaries in friendship , " she says . " it opened me up as a person and made me who i am today . "

we need to talk about what just happened on line of duty . one moment thandie newton’s roz huntley was confronting her forensic expert – and whistleblower – tim ifield ( jason watkins ) . the next he’d knocked her out cold and presumed she was dead . except she wasn’t… ( seriously , you’d think you could rely on a policeman to work out whether someone is alive or not ? )

if ifield is the killer , it would be a strange move for him to divert huntley from the suspect in custody , michael farmer , as a conviction would mean ifield was off the hook . surely he’d just go along with the police’s charges ?

it’s the very question on our lips . we simply don’t know . and this being line of duty , we reckon we’ll be kept guessing for a good while longer…

from director tony richardson ( tom jones ) comes this brilliant retelling of tragic events during the crimean war . starring trevor howard , john gielgud , david hemmings and vanessa redgrave , this epic political satire is an " impressive achievement " ( box office ) that will forever be revered as movie making at its best . british captain nolan ( hemmings ) is a devoted officer disgusted with his commander , lord cardigan ( howard ) . lord raglan ( gielgud ) is a foolish officer with misguided war strategies and a fading memory . together , they are sent to turkey in response to a russian invasion . driven by arrogance and ineptitude , they send hundreds of cavalry to certain death in a climax that is both " harrowing [ and ] magnificent " ( time ) .

smarter homes are better for the planet . here ' s how to get on board

there are many things that make steven spielberg ' s ' e . t . the extra - terrestrial ' - - thirty years old this year - - a magical masterpiece : a sensitive script , fantastic special effects ( it ' s often easy to forget the title star is a mechanical puppet ) , john williams ' uplifting score . but one of the most over - looked aspects is the cast .

eschewing big name stars and established child actors , spielberg discovered a raft of talent , young and old , that do much to make ' e . t . ' such an emotional experience . here are their ' e . t . ' stories and what happened next . . . .

that was then : " i used to think ' if i mess this up , what ' s going to happen ? ' " recalls henry thomas about his days as the lead in ' e . t . the extra - terrestrial ' . " ' are they going fire me ? i ' m nine years old . ' " thomas won the role as the introverted kid who makes a new friend after spielberg had seen a reel of his work in ' the raggedy man ' . aeons away from the standard theatre school moppet , thomas ' performance is restrained and heartfelt , a primary reason why his scenes with a mechanical puppet shine . " to this day , 30 years later , i ' m primarily recognised as the kid from ' e . t ' , " thomas says without a hint of bitterness . " it ' s nice that everyone has been relatively kind . you ' re always worried that there are people waiting for you to knock over the liquor store - - the child actor gone wrong ! "

thomas ' other on - going project is his band farspeaker , a " post punk " outfit made - up of fellow filmmaking types . " we ' re not going to become overnight justin bieber strike - it - rich sensations , " he laughs . " we may become underground indie darlings . we ' re maybe even too old for that ! "

following ' e . t . ' , wallace worked prolifically , mainly in horror flicks such as ' cujo ' , ' critters ' , peter jackson ' s ' the frighteners ' and rob zombie ' s 2007 reboot of ' halloween ' . always working , she has a clutch of movies pending release including ' the boarder ' , ' cry of the butterfly ' , ' one of us must know ' and zombie ' s latest scare - fest ' the lords of salem ' . she also runs acting workshops and has a sideline in motivational speeches and self - healing therapy . " i keep reminding myself , in the midst of everything , that the most important thing for me in my life is to stay connected to my own joy . "

" i ' m a zen buddhist student first , actor second " , he has said . " if i can ' t reconcile the two lives , i ' ll stop acting . i spend more time off - screen than on . "

number of refugees accepted into the u . s . falls below the rest of the world combined for the first time since 1980

as season four of line of duty draws to a close , viewers are excitedly preparing for what is expected to be a nail - biting finale , when a big mystery will be solved .

and patrick baladi , whose lawyer character jimmy lakewell was among the suspects eyed as responsible for ds steve arnott ' s balcony fall , has hinted that accusatory fingers are being pointed in the wrong direction .

appearing on itv ' s good morning britain on friday , the 45 - year - old actor threw superintendent ted hastings ' name into the ring as one of the suspects - a character who , up until now , had never been considered as responsible for the shocking act .

after much prodding from hosts ben shephard and kate garraway , patrick cautiously revealed : ' the suspicion is shone on everyone . even hastings , who hasn ' t been considered as a suspect . . . i ' m throwing that out there . '

while the big reveal on other tv shows has often been kept away from actors until the very end , the warwickshire native revealed that the cast are all aware of who committed the crime .

' we get to know as much as what is in the script . we get to see the reveal and who is responsible , ' he said , before ominously adding : ' it ' s never obvious . '

martin , 32 , explained to presenter christine bleakley during an appearance on daytime show lorraine , that ds arnott ' s suit was from an old series , chosen because producers were happy for it to get ' messed up ' during the bloody and violent scene .

the actor said it occurred to him that eagle - eyed fans of the show might ' clock ' that ' something bad is going to happen ' .

speaking about doing his own stunts martin , who has appeared on all four series of the popular drama , said : ' that [ scene ] was stressful for me for different reasons because i know that when the lift doors open , i ' m about to get thrown about by a stunt man .

' we spend so much time at our desks , doing long interview scenes and talking . . . it ' s nice to get a bit physical .

' but i was wondering if anyone noticed that was my old suit from last series which we were allowed to get messed up . i wondered if any eagle - eyed fans clocked , " well he ' s in his old suit today , so something bad is going to happen " . '

ds arnott woke up from the fall in last sunday ' s episode , but so far he ' s been unable to nail down what viewers already know - that thandie newton ' s character ' s husband nick ( lee ingleby ) is the culprit .

the actor , who actually hails from inverclyde , scotland and adopts a london accent to play steve arnott , admits he was nervous about the fate of the ' annoying ' officer , especially as the writers are not scared of killing off major characters .

' he ' s hanging in there . that ' s the beauty of the show , we ' ve trusted jed [ mercurio , writer ] this far and i don ' t think he would kill anyone off just for the sake of it .

' but there ' s always a bit of trepidation when we get the next set of scripts to see if we ' re still there .

' i intentionally make [ steve ] annoying because he ' s kind of the hero , but he ' s - i ' m trying to think of words i can say on morning tv - but he ' s a lot of fun to play .

' and again with him going over the banister and thinking he ' s dead . . . people don ' t realise what they ' ve got until he ' s gone , so the character got this outpouring of love over the last week which has been really nice . '

many viewers of the popular drama , which follows the exploits of the anti - police corruption unit and also stars thandie newton and vicky mcclure , mightn ' t realise martin has a strong scottish accent .

but as more and more people tune in the actor says he ' s coming under increasing scrutiny .

' the bigger this [ show ] gets the more people figure out i’m scottish , and then the more they become accent detectives and they start listening , ' he said .

' when i do the accent i tend to just stay in it . for me it’s like going to the gym , the more you’re in it the better you get . '

he added that because he spent a lot of time travelling between la - where his american wife of eight months , tianna chanel flynn , lives - and belfast , where the series was filmed , he was worried about the accent slipping .

' this year ' s probably been the most difficult year . a lot of my filming was condensed so i had a lot more time off and i ' ve been travelling within the series more than i would normally do , so apologies if it slips at all . '

i have a video of this film . it is indeed sole survivor starring shatner and basehart .

this sounds a bit similar to a robert powell film of 20 years ago , based on james herbert ' s book " the survivor " .

how curious to find i am only one member of a sect who was profoundly touched by seeing this film as a child in the 70s .

it could be a film called lost horizon . it was made in 1973 .

future learning and skills – giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .

it sounds very like a book by james herbert called survivor ( or the survivor ) - not sure if they ever made a film of it though .

the film the original question is trying to find is , indeed , " sole survivor " , a 1971 tv movie that i have on tape and just watched again tonight ; it ' s the only film of its kind . it ' s one of the best of the tv movies , and one of the earliest . please contact me if you ' re looking for a copy of it .

soul survivor is not the film . i remember seeing sole survivor at the time it was shown on tv in the 70 ' s and was disappointed that it wasn ' t the film i remembered . the film as i remember was in black and white , my parents only had colour tvs , and only at the end of the film the crew realised they were dead . no scenes of helicopters and no scenes of rescue .

allen myers , the film you are looking for about the airliner crash in the everglades is " ghost of flight 401 " .

flight of the phoenix has been offered by a number of people during my quest . . . but , of course hollywood is about to release a new desecration - erm , version of that classic .

i remember with clarity , a boy 9 or 8 roasting some bird eggs on a hot rock and eating for survival after a plane crash and gets to be a survivor in the film . but can ' t remember film name . can anybody ?

every week , i look at the tv film listings in the hope of finding this film , trying to remember its name , every week the same nagging disappointment that i can never find it .

i sent this very enquiry to " empire " film magazine last year and they confirmed that the film is indeed sole survivior , a tv movie made in the early 1970 ' s and starring , amongst others , william shatner . unfortunately the film is not available on video . . . . . . . if anyone knows of a way to obtain a copy i ' d love to have one . it ' s a great film .

ok all , definitive answer time as i have been obsessed with this film for years . the film is indeed sole survivor a 1970 tv movie . the reason why the difficulty in identifying it is that there are two versions of the film . the original tv american movie had the survivors knowing they were ghosts and haunting the survivor . the film was released in europe to the cinemas in 71 , and was re - edited so the crew did not know they were dead , thus changing the entire aspect of the film . love both versions and have a very grainy vhs copy of the bbc in about ' 82 , hope this helps paul

there seems to be a number of variants . i recalled a black and white version and the actors having the ' perfect english ' reminiscent of the old war films - i recall the crew sitting under a sheet under the wing of the plane and talking about not being able to leave the dessert . . . maybe its the 1968 one mentioned by the film buff in spain

i remember the film and have been trying to find the name of the film for years . i don ' t believe it to be sole survivor , the film was clearly a sixties or even fifties movie . the crew of the doomed plane crash landed in the desert , all the crew appeared to have survived the crash , trying to make the best of it and await for their rescue , when it arrives they are discovered dead in and around the wreckage , and then one by one disappear ; a bit like the film really . i would to see it again though .

if anyone says its the film ' sole survivor ' again i ' ll either shoot myself or kill the wife ! its not the film ' sole survivor ' ! ! my family had a colour tv and that film was in black & white . the search goes on : = (

a bumbling us marine captain is assigned to retrieve a space capsule from a despotic african ruler .

whatever the name of this film is , one thing i remember is the ghosts of the departed crew being in awe of a helicopter that turns up at the crash site , with one of them remarking that it ' hangs in the air just like a bird ' or something like that . suggesting that when they died there were no helicopters in service .

the name of the film was sole survivor and if you go to you tube and type in sole survivor you can sit back and enjoy the movie .

the film in question isn ' t " the survivor " ( the film of the james herbert book ) . the plot for the survivor was that one man survives a plane crash ( i think totally unharmed ) and in his struggle to come to terms with this uncovers the fact that the plane was sabotaged / blown up . the twist is that he didn ' t survive . he is a manifestation of the will of all the lost souls and as soon as the truth is reveals he dies .

i too remember a film ' sole surviver ' about a man that lost his wife and daughter in a plane accident . when he tries to investigate he is pursued by some black op federal agents . the main agent was played by billy zane . the plot was of mind control and child experiments in a secret lab where people ' s minds were remotely controlled . the pilot of the commercial aircraft purposely crashed the plane because of his mind being controlled by one of the kids . in the end the man rescues a young girl , his own daughter ' s age , who was the ' sole surviver ' of the crash . the film was a two - part tv film never reproduced for dvd or vcr . i have tried to obtain copies to no avail . if anyone does get a lead on this film and how to obtain copies , please let me now . it is an incredible film , not to be confused with ' soul survivor ' .

i remember watching this film as well , way back in the 80s . i simply cannot remember the name of the film . however , i remember a scene from the film where a patrol came across the wreckage . all the airmen were standing to attention and then all of a sudden they realised that nobody could see them . they are all sitting around and one of time they disappeared as they were being buried . if i remember rightly , there was one guy left , i don ' t think his body was found though . damn good film , wish i could get my hands on it .

this page has just answered a quest i have had for over a decade - i ' ve asked all sorts , including those who title themselves film afficiondos its weird to see that so many other people have been trying to find the title of this film as well - a bit like our own episode of the twilight zone . i can rest easy now . thanks again .

i disagree that it was " sole survivor " . that was a different story where a survivor of a crash became a highranking officer who had wrongly claimed that his plane had gone down in the mediterranean . the film ( definitely not a twilight zone story ) was set in the desert and consisted of the dead crew of the crashed aircraft not knowing they were dead until their colleagues suddenly began disappearing as their bodies were found . the final " survivor " was almost left alone by the plane until his body was found and his ghost released . i still don ' t know the name of the film and would love to know it .

sorry , dino , but the urltoken you quote is the one made in 1970 starring the same cast . ( see " urltoken " web site ) however the film we are trying to find had no survivors . not a sole survivor . the film was about a crew who had all been killed in the crash and were all unknowingly ghosts around the plane . at the end of the film , all the ghosts had gone due to all the bodies being found . it certainly wasn ' t " sole survivor " .

wow ! i remember this film , which i saw when it was shown on tv in the uk in the late 70s . i remember the plane ( it was a b24 or b25 ) and i remember richard basehart , recognising him from voyage to the bottom of the sea . i dont remember william shatner , which is odd as i was a real star trek fan as a young kid . i remember that one of the ghosts was not recovered . . . i think that the others had bailed out with a dingy , believing the navigator that they were over the water off the ( libyan ? ) coast . one stayed with the plane ) the pilot ? ) and had survived the crash ( the sole survivor ? ) he had taken shelter from the sun under the tail section , which broke off and crushed him . this is why the air accident investigation team didnt find his body . they couldnt understand how there were no bodies , until one of the investigators realised that the navigator ( who had survived - the other play on the ' sole survivor ' title ) had got the position wrong - but he bailed out first and survived the drop . as i recall basehart was the navigator . yes , i too wish i could get a copy !

bill , however , is unaware of this snag until a former , elderly and wealthy resident of the establishment dies , bequeathing him the princely sum of £10 , 000 in her will . long dreaming of escaping to the warm climes of the south of france from wet 1950s london , darling attempts to hand in his notice and is outraged when the manager points out that he cannot .

sorry i too am unable to find the film or title most are looking for , black and white for sure . saw it as a kid and like the ghosts i too have been waiting ever since , best film ever .

i was reminded of the existence of ' no secrets ' , a total turkey which inexplicably teams oliver reed , peter cushing and keenan wynn .

i too have been trying to find this film for years - and am still confused ! i agree entirely with those that say there were no survivors , and particularly with what ray mitcham says - that is spot on . thing is i think the title was flight of the phoenix , but obviously not the film with jimmy stewart in , maybe a made for tv film with the same name ? but also - not an episode of anything , it was a full length flm . so - anyone out there know about the film ray and i are talking about !

wow ! can ' t believe i ' ve found this thread , i ' ve wondered about this film for years . there are definitely two different films being discussed here , mind you , and the original answer to the question posed is not sole survivor . i can remember watching this film and i can also remember what it ' s called . there is a very good reason why no one can find it in any database and that ' s because it shares the name of a very famous film which will dominate any internet search results . the film is called catch 22 , not to be confused by the famous 1970 film of the same name . saw it listed sometime back so settled down to watch . of course it was the 1970 film i was watching . disappointment . hope this helps .

thanks for all the information that has appeared here . i have also been trying to retrieve a copy of the film , and if memory serves , the title was " soul survivor " , not " sole survivor " . this would also make more sense in light of the survival of the souls but not the actual flesh and blood crew members .

i remember seeing a movie late one night many years ago where the crew of a ww2 american bomber are hanging around the wreck of their aircraft in the desert . every time they try to leave they always end up back at the wreck . i seem to remember too that they were very fastidious about where they left their equipment . i must have asked a hundred people if they remember the film , but no luck . this has been the only place where people have described the story the way i remember it . the film sounds like " sole survivor " 1969 tv movie staring william shatner which used the wreck of a b25 - j mitchell bomber . i hope this is the same film your thinking of . is it available on video anywhere ?

it ' s called sole survivor . . i remembered it as a kid . you can watch the film in its entirety at urltoken urltoken

there is a scene in which oskar ' s drum so confuses a nazi marching band that it switches from a nazi hymn to " the blue danube . " the crashing obviousness of this scene aside , i must confess that the symbolism of the drum failed to involve me .

the movie i ' m trying to find the name of is airliner crashes at airport and the pilot walks away from the crash in a daze . then end of the movie he is found strapped in his seat in the cockpit .

it is sole survivor . i saw it once as a child and it stuck in my mind . the whole film is online here : urltoken

oh how disappointing , i was hoping there would be an answer for me here . i too remember watching this film as a child in the 1970 ' s an have been trying to find it for years . i ' ve seen sole survivor and flight of the phoenix . it is most certainly neither of these . the film i ' m looking for was black & white and the airmen did not know they were dead . that ' s the big twist at the end . i ' m fairly sure it was a feature film too , not an episode of twilight zone . it was shown on a weekend afternoon . i hope someone can get to the bottom of this one !

i agree with the men not knowing that they are dead and remember the film as . so g in b & w ; for most of it and only being in colour at the end when the rescuers arrive and i think john wayne ' s son was in it . i so have been trying to find out the name of this film for years

the movie invites us to see the world through the eyes of little oskar , who on his third birthday refuses to do any more growing up because the world is such a cruel place . my problem is that i kept seeing oskar not as a symbol of courage but as an unsavory brat ; the film ' s foreground obscured its larger meaning .

how frustrating ! i was hoping by the time i had got to the end of the discussion that the film would have been found . i told my daughter that she must watch ' flight of the pheonix ' as i thought that it was this film , and i was so disappointed that it was the wrong film . i remember that they crashed because they thought the heat from the dessert sand was the sea , and they were trying to crash into the sea . and i remember the twist at the end being so good as i didn ' t have a clue that they were really all dead until the army came to clear the wreckage and they were invisible ghosts ! i would love to see this film again . . . has been a long time .

" a sewage farm . in what way is it a farm ? is there a farm shop ? " - jack dee

i have just watched ' sole survivor ' on google videos and after only a few minutes realised it was crap and definitely not the film i remember . the film that was so good we were all moved by , began with the plane flying over what they think is the sea but is the rolling sands of the desert . they think they can jump out with a lifeboat . they do not know they are dead right to the end of the film , which is what makes it so good and definitely not like the weak ' sole survivor ' plot . i think it is ' flight of the ? ' because i was surprised when i discovered it wasn ' t ' flight of the phoenix ' as an adult . please stop telling those of us who have seen this amazing film , that it is sole survivor . it definitely isn ' t ! ! ! !

the responders with " the sole survivor " as a cbs 1970 tv movie are correct . but there is a play on words in the title that nobody hit upon yet , although malcolm is close . while the cowardly navigator ( richard baseheart , in a post - voyage to the bottom of the sea role ) was the sole survivor of the downed bomber , the movie did , in fact , end with all but one of the crew - ghosts recovered ( disappeared ) . the movie did close with a scene of the remaining crewman playing baseball by himself - the sole " survivor " among the " ghosts . " william shatner , fresh from " star trek " was also in the film , as the investigating officer .

well , ive just watched ' sole survivor ' on dvd . its the one with william shatner playing an air force crash investigator . in this film it is clear that the crew know they are ghosts right at the start , and that its been seventeen years since the crash . the film i remember has the whole crew ( no survivors ) believing that they are still alive . it doesn ' t come to light that they are all dead until right at the end of the film when a helicopter turns up at the crash site and freaks the crew out ( no helicopters in general service at the time of the crash ) and the helicopter crew cant see the ( dead ) crewmen . there is a scene in sole survivor with a helicopter but this is half way into the film , long after the plane wreck has been found , and not the initial discovery .

i am looking at the box of ' sole survivor ' a made for tv movie starring william basehart , william shatner and lou antonio . the synopsis reads . . . . ' shatner delivers a credible performance as lt . col . josef gronke , the head of a team of air force investigators that fly to the site of a wreck of a b - 24 bomber that crashed in the libyan desert , stunning the world with its discovery 16 years later . ' . . . . etc . the story starts with the crew awaiting rescue , not really believing they are dead . basehart is the navigator who baled out on them during an attack by fighter planes , surviving 36 hours in the waters of the mediterranean before being picked up as the sole survivor of the crew . the film was produced by cinema center 100 productions and also stars vince edwards as the major who is determined to get to the truth , which he does in the end .

and here we are at the central problem of the movie : should i , as a member of the audience , decide to take the drum as , say , a child ' s toy protest against the marching cadences of the german armies ? or should i allow myself to be annoyed by the child ' s obnoxious habit of banging on it whenever something ' s not to his liking ? even if i buy the wretched drum as a moral symbol , i ' m still stuck with the kid as a pious little bastard .

i am trying to name a film but no movie databases has the answer . a plane has crashed and the cast of the film turn out to be ghosts who ' disappear ' as their bodies are recovered . in the end there is one sole ' ghost ' until the searchers return and find his body under the tail plane . have i imagined this as no one seems to know what i ' m talking about ?

this rings a bell with me . i ' m pretty sure it was an episode of the twilight zone , though , not a film as such . if memory serves it may even have been directed by steven spielberg . the crew of us airmen had crashed their ww2 plane when a bomb got stuck in the bomb bay . they could not die properly until their remains had been found but their ghosts were accessible though some sort of time portal . the last scene was of the final guy being discovered beneath the wrecked tail plane .

basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …

shot in zambia as some kind of vanity project on the part of the director , ( although i ' m convinced that there also had to be some kind of tax write off involved ) , this supposed comedy is utterly dismal . to give you some idea of how bad it is , the above clip is actually one of the

the film is sole survivor and is available on ebay , i saw it last night for the first time in about 25 / 30 years . i remembered it clearly , it ' s the kind of movie that stays in your mind . there might be a few different versions of this film around due to commercial breaks some footage may be missing in some versions . let ' s hope it will get a proper official dvd release one day , fully restored and with plenty of extras .

twilight zone series 2 . episode 6a . king nine will not return . drove me mad for nearly 30yrs trying to find this . i had the memory of it but not the title . i thought it was a film too .

this film is not sole survivor . it was a black and white film . the crew did not know they were dead . it was only when each of them was discovered that it dawned on them and they disappeared . unfortunately there appear to be 3 films that have the same sort of plot . . . . . does anyone else remember this one ? ? ? ? ? ?

i remember the film as well and have been trying to find the answer for years ( with no luck ) . a few more details of the film that i remember was that the crews ' only entertainment was with a baseball and glove which one of them had . i seem to remember that all the crews ' bodies were found except the captain ' s ( his body was under the plane ) leaving him ( his spirit ) all alone at the wreck . did not the film end with him playing with glove and ball on his own ? please , someone , for my sanity ' s sake , come up with the right answer ( it is not ' sole survivor ' ) .

actually , i don ' t think little oskar is at all innocent in this film ; a malevolence seems to burn from his eyes , and he ' s compromised in his rejection of the world ' s evil by his own behavior as the most spiteful , egocentric , cold and calculating character in the film ( all right : except for adolf hitler ) .

this film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what’s now showing

i think the film you ' re thinking of is " sole survivor " . the plane was an american bomber which crashed in the desert . the crew spend their days playing baseball , not realising they ' re dead , until many years later a recovery crew locates their bodies .

it is not ' sole survivor ' . william shatner was not in it . it was filmed in b & w . ; it was not an episode of the twilight zone . please , can anyone remember the name of the b & w ; version , and stop telling us we watched shatner in a colour version ? there is obviously more than one version of this film , and i am not after ' sole survivor ' . the ' survivors ' did not know they were ghosts until they started to realise that they could not leave the area of the crashed plane . they did play with a baseball . at the very end of the film one ghost was left alone in the desert as his body was never recovered . please help ? !

there are more than one sole survivor movie . the film discussed here - - a b - 25 crashed in the desert during wwii with the ghosts of the crew trapped near the plane - - is definitely one of them . i worked on the movie which was directed by my friend and mentor paul stanley and featured vince edwards , richard baseheart and william shattner . it was a great experience spending a month in the desert on the el mirage dry lake bed . see : urltoken this was the first of a series of tv movies made by cbs referred to as cc100s ( cinema center / 100 minutes ) . as far as i know , it has not been released on dvd .

this intriguing film is called " sole survivor " , and was a tv movie made in 1970 , directed by paul stanley and starring william shatner . this film had " haunted " me for years until i finally tracked the title down after many , many lengthy internet searches . on at least two occasions when talking about films in the pub , someone has asked " anyone remember that film where there ' s a crashed bomber and a crew that don ' t know there dead ? "

for many years i have searched for the title of this film as i remember watching it as a young child so it definitely left an impression on me . all i can remember is there were no survivors , it was set in ww 1 or ww 2 and was a full length movie not part of a tv series . . i cannot remember william shatner in it and i think i would have as i was a star trek fan . it was not flight of the phoenix as they survived and soul survivor indicates there was a survivor . . they played baseball to pass the time until they were rescued . it was only , many years later , one by one , when their bones were found that the men started to disappear . i remember at the end of the film there is one man playing baseball with glove and ball in hand . his body i think was never going to be found for some reason , but it is only at the end of the film that they all realise they are dead . i think maybe it has the name of the plane in the title . .

equally shocked and outraged , bill seeks out his old chums with a plan . he ' s not spent all of the inheritance , and there ' s just about enough left to buy the hotel ' s lease - now all they must do is convince a trio of northern investors to back them with the last of the funds they require .

i started trying to find the name of this film after seeing " king 9 will not return " last night on netflix and remembered how much i enjoyed the ghost story of the bomber crew . i watched sole survivor and it is definitely not the film . another reason i know it is not , is that i saw the film in the 1960 ' s while still living at home before going off to college in 1968 . sole survivor was made in 1970 . maybe the reason it is so hard to find , is that it wasn ' t a movie . king 9 was a 30 minute ( 22 actual minutes ) tv episode . sole survivor 1 : 36 minute movie . what i remember of the film , is that it probably was a one hour tv episode . perhaps of amaing stories , scifi theatre , outer limites or some such tv series . i hope someone comes up with the one so many of us want to find . the unknowing ghosts that disappear one by one as their remains are found till only one remains .

i am trying to name a film but no movie databases has the answer . a plane has crashed and the cast of the film turn out to be ghosts who ' ' disappear ' ' as their bodies are recovered . in the end there is one sole ' ' ghost ' ' until the searchers return and find his body under the tail plane . have i imagined this as no one seems to know what i ' ' m talking about ? | notes and queries | urltoken

dear me ! i wish any future contributors would have a very good read of the above comments before they say anything else .

hi everyone . i watched the flight of the phoenix recently all the way to the end hoping it was the film i remembered - waiting for the twist ! course it didn ' t happen . the description of sole / soul survivor just don ' t seem to fit in with the fact no - one was alive and the twist definitely came right at the end . i just wish i could see it again . . .

borgnine was not , i repeat not a flight engineer in flight of the phoenix . the movie i asked about is based on the true incident which took place in the everglades in the early 1970s . i believe it also had kim basinger as a stewardess who survived the crash .

sole survivor is indeed the film in question , although you might not recognise it from its description in most databases . they tend to emphasise the come - uppance of the now senior aviator who was responsible for the crash , rather than the more interesting supernatural aspect that everyone actually remembers the film for . any similarity to the twilight zone episode is probably down to the fact rod serling also wrote sole survivor . it ' s likely that he drew inspiration from the discovery of the crashed wwii us bomber ' lady be good ' in the libyan desert during the late ' 50 ' s .

the movie juxtaposes oskar ' s one - man protest with the horror of world war ii . but i am not sure what the juxtaposition means . did i miss everything ? i ' ve obviously taken the story on a literal level , but i don ' t think that means i misread the film as it stands .

thank you one and all ! i ' ve been trying to remember the name of this film for 20 years ! have now checked ' sole survivor ' on imdb and it is the right title . excellent !

it is not sole survivor . i remember it on tv in the late 70s , and we had a colour tv , it was black and white and the crew did not know that they were dead . i remember it being a class film , but don ' t remember the name , ghost bomber rings a bell .

not looking good - reply to query to the american film institute : thank you for your interest in afi . we are sorry to report that we have been unable to identify the film you described . to continue your quest , you might wish to contact the following organizations with your question : library of congress motion picture and television reading room : urltoken academy of motion picture arts and sciences margaret herrick library : urltoken the reference librarians at these organizations may be able to direct you to the film you seek . we wish you success in your search . best , the afi staff

the film i ' m looking for is definitely a black and white film . i have been looking for this film for years . the characters did not know they were dead . i remember my my mum jumping up saying " they ' re ghosts ! " although a lot seems similar to sole survivor , it ' s not quite right . i think there must be 3 films that we remember . i remember that someone walked away from the plane only to find themselves back where they started . i also remember they disappeared as they were found . for years i thought it was flight of the phoenix . but having watched it recently is a very different film . i ' m sure it ' s " flight " something though .

yep , almost certain you are talking about ' sole survivor ' . a great film - and i even have a copy on vhs ! can ' t track it down anywhere else as i ' d like a ' restored ' version if possible , ah well .

i saw this movie . . . i ' m also trying to figure out the name . it streams instantly on netflix , and i can ' t remember the title , but thought the ending of lost was a rip off of the plot , lol . they have a support group of the survivors and each one disappears ( evidently as their issues are resolved ) and the psychologist leading the group is the last to figure out she ' s dead too .

the film has been adapted by the west german filmmaker volker schlondorff from the 1959 novel by gunter grass , who helped with the screenplay . it chronicles the career of little oskar , who narrates his own life story starting with his mother ' s conception in a potato patch . oskar is born into a world divided : in the years after world war i , both germans and poles live in the state of danzig , where they get along about as well as catholics and protestants in belfast .

1956 british comedy film about a hotel porter who comes into money . stars frankie howerd , ruby murray , dennis price , dorothy bromley , katherine kath and others .

i can ' t believe so many other people are trying to find the name of this film . i watched this on tv about 25years ago and have always remembered it and tried to find out what it was called . it definitely wasn ' t flight of the phoenix because it is on tv at this very minute and it has prompted me to start looking again . the description of sole survivor sounds similar but i was sure that the film i saw was black and white . i definitely remember the navigator surviving because he had told the crew to bail out over the sea but in fact it was the desert and the crew haunted him when they realised they were dead . maybe there are two versions of this film , the colour one and also the older b / w one , would love to know for sure .

i started thinking about this film after visiting a ww2 aircraft crash site in the far north of scotland ( near gairloch ) . it is a war grave , and there is still debris from the plan scattered over the hillside and the loch . but back to the film . this is what i remember . it is black and white . the crew do not know that they are dead . as their bodies are discovered , they " vanish " . they do play baseball , and the guy with the mitt and ball does not get found . i don ' t think it was called " sole surviver " , i think the title was longer and might have had the name of the plane .

well , having posted this query . . . and not having seen sole survivor ( or not ) i would like to thank all those looking in and who have answered my query but i still think that the answer is buried under the plane . what is driving me mad now is that i also believe it is referred to in another film , mid 80 ' s possibly , where someone says , when seeing a movie on black and white tv , ' hey , i remember this . . . the guy is buried under the tail of the plane . ' so is this a case where the film is actually sole survivor , but the on - screen reference has sown a seed that is making us all think we have seen the film . . . but with a different ending ?

i can confirm the film is not sole / soul survivor . the original black and white film was shown in the uk pre 1968 and followed a different plot to sole survivour . the b52 and crew crash land in the desert , try to walk away but always return , try to fix the plane , then start to disappear slowly . eventualy the remaining crew think they are rescued . however the rescue party find the remaining bodies and bury the surviours - who all disappear . it is not sole survior

incredible ! i ' ve been thinking about this film since i was a kid ( i ' m 35 now ) . i think i only caught the end of the movie and it left such an impression on me i vowed to watch the whole film one day . every now and then it would pop into my head and i would think i must try to find the name of it sometime . so , tonight finally i type in a long - shot search into google and stumble across this thread ! i can ' t believe it ! i so agree with many of you who thought this film was a figment of their imagination . what was it about this film that hooked us so much - i mean , i was a little girl , my main joy was my cindy dolls , ballet and ponies - why would a movie about war , airplanes & dead pilots leave such an impression ? ! anyway , after reading all your posts i ' ve just been on ebay and bought a copy of sole survivor . i dont know if it ' s going to be the one i remember , but i ' ll let you know when i ' ve received it and watched it - fingers crossed .

everybody please stop trying to guess the movie if : you think it is in color or you think that william shatner is in it , because neither of those things is true . it is a black and white film , and the crew of the crashed plane don ' t ever stray very far from it , nor do i remember seeing any other characters aside from them . i also remember a harmonica being in the mix . it was a slow paced film from what i can recall . i ' m glad i ' m not alone in this , but sad we can not figure it out ! doug

once again , i have to disagree with both eric and steve . this is not the movie we are talking about . the film , which we are trying to trace has no survivors . the final survivor out of the crew of ghosts , appears to have been left by the " rescuers " but as they drive away after apparently finding no trace of him , they find his body several miles away . this enable his " ghost " to disappear the same way as all the others . i say again in the film we are trying to trace there are no survivors at all . all the ghosts are released from their limbo .

if we come in armed with the grass novel and a sheaf of reviews , it ' s maybe just possible to discipline ourselves to read " the tin drum " as a solemn allegorical statement . but if we take the chance of just watching what ' s on the screen , schlondorff never makes the connection . we ' re stuck with this cretinous little kid , just when europe has enough troubles of its own .

lets just make one thing clear the film is not soul / survivor , i watched this film for which we all seek on a colour tv in either 1977 - 78 , this film was black and white end off . i remember the brilliant twist at the end and i ' ve never forgotten it , i remember one of them saying its all going dark as 1 by 1 they where found and put into body bags with 1 left behind under the tail end of the plane and i ' m sure he shouts look under the tail but obviously no - one can hear him and the crash team leave and he is left with this baseball bat and ball . it ' s haunted me for over 33 years this film and its not the bloody twilight zone either , i ' ve searched everywhere for it but seems to have vanished !

another voice here confirming that sole survivor is not the film that many of us are seeking . i ordered that and watched it this afternoon , and , good as it is , it isn ' t the film in which the characters gradually realise they are dead as their bodies are found . the two films are so similar , though , it ' s seems likely that they are based on the same root story .

no answer , but it isn ' t sole survivor . i saw it many years ago but we had a color tv and it was black and white and not a tv episode but a full feature film . hope someone comes up with it because i loved the movie and would love to own it .

thanks , ray . the film definitely has no survivors and nothing to do with a navigation error - it definitely has baseball in it and there are no survivors at the end , all the ghosts are laid to rest . please keep insisting !

of the film . reed affects a poor american accent in his role as a bumbling us marine , ( i ' m guessing that the director would have liked to describe the character as ' clouseau - esque ' - in his dreams ) , sent to an african dictatorship to recover a crashed us satellite . he has lots of ' hilarious ' encounters with various ' wacky ' characters , played by the aforementioned actors , taking time off from their paid holiday in zambia . the ' special ' effects are anything but - the budget was clearly miniscule , the script dreadful and the direction abysmal . really ,

thanks for your reply paul kennedy . i am not saying that you are not right , but i just want to find this film . like so many others , i have remembered watching it as a child and it never left me . some time ago i bought sole survivor and it didn ' t seem to be quite the film i remembered . as children though , i doubt that we would really know film titles . i find it hard to believe that a film can be made such as the catch 22 which you mention , and there not be one mention of it on the whole internet . so far , in my humble opinion , the most likely explanations are that we simply remember the film a little differently from so long ago , or there is actually another edit as someone has said . every version of sole survivor i have seen ( aside from the one i saw on tv as a child ) has been the u . s . version it seems . could there be a european / uk edit ? someone has mentioned on here that they have seen two versions . i have spent some time looking for catch 22 , and variants on that title , but nothing yet .

allegories have trouble standing for something else if they are too convincing as themselves . that is the difficulty with " the tin drum , " which is either ( a ) an allegory about one person ' s protest against the inhumanity of the world , or ( b ) the story of an obnoxious little boy .

i remember this film , but like so many others , do not know the name of it . i know it is not sole survivor or any other mentioned so far . this film was black and white and made in the 1960s . the story line was 6 crew members that played baseball around a crashed wwii bomber . they couldn ' t go very far away from the plane though and had to always return to it . they did not know they were dead . that was the twist , and the viewer never knew they were dead either . one by one the crew disappeared as each body was discovered until the last one was discovered under the tail of the plane .
