Some May Live ( also known as In Saigon Some May Live) is a 1967 British war film directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Peter Cushing, Joseph Cotten and Martha Hyer.[1] It was written by David T. Chantler and shot at Twickenham Studios.

During the Vietnam War, a security leak in Saigon has to be plugged, when American decoder Kate Meredith is faced with the dilemma of her husband pressuring her to give him information.

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A contrived melodrama made all the more unconvincing by mediocre performances. Martha Hyer in particular is unequal to the demands of her part. Vernon Sewell's direction is quite without style."[2]

Leonard Maltin gave the film two stars, calling it an "Unexciting suspenser."[3]
