The Sea Shall Not Have Them is a 1954 British war film starring Michael Redgrave, Dirk Bogarde and Anthony Steel. It was directed by Lewis Gilbert and is based on the 1953 novel by John Harris, about a North Sea rescue during the Second World War. The musical soundtrack is by composer Malcolm Arnold.
The film title is the motto of the Royal Air Force's Air Sea Rescue Service.[3] Gilbert called it "standard fare" but it "did very well."[4]
