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 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.
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]
