The Blockhouse
(film)
The Blockhouse was a 1973 film, based on a book by Jean Paul Clebert. It was directed by Clive Rees and starred Peter Sellers and Charles Aznavour. It was filmed entirely in Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
On D-Day, Allied prisoners held by German forces during World War II are trapped inside a German bunker. They have enough food and water to last them for years. And they are trapped for years. The film analyzes how they deal with their underground prison, with their relationships, and with death.
Sellers' role represented a departure for him, in that he played a dramatic role, rather than his forté of comedy. Jeremy Kemp and Peter Vaughan also appeared in the film.
The book and film appear to have been
inspired by a true story: on June 25, 1951, Time magazine reported that two German
soldiers had emerged from a underground storehouse in Babie Doly, Poland (about
30 km from Gdynia), where they had been trapped for six years.
