SILENT ENEMY 1958 Dawn Addams - Ray Hearne 10x8 PORTRAIT #7

Original 10 inch x 8 inch Black and White Portrait of DAWN ADDAMS as Third Officer Jill Masters, W.R.N.S. in the 1958 William Fairchild War Film THE SILENT ENEMY, based on the book “Commander Crabb” by Marshall Pugh.

In the Mediterranean in 1941 the Italians start using underwater chariots to mine the undersides of allied ships. Explosives expert Lionel Crabbe arrives in Gibraltar to organise defenses, but finds only two British divers available to help him. Even more worrying, it seems likely that the Italians are secretly using neutral Spain across the bay as their key base.

The portrait is by Ray Hearne (1948 - 1979) with his stamp on the reverse. Hearne worked in the film industry as a cinematographer and other roles within the camera and electrical department.

The portrait is in very good condition with minor surface marks with a credit list glued to the reverse.
