I'm reasonably certain (but age is catching up LOL) that in the movie 'Bad Blood' with Jack Thompson, set in New Zealand during WW2, that somewhere in the movie I spotted a CMP? but it has been a long time since I saw that movie, cheers Dennis

There are two CMP in that movie Bad Blood. One is a C8AX and the other a C60.

... And I know one of the soldiers in it! (as far as claims to fame go, that's the best I can come up with!)

Default Okay Movie Buffs.....

I've wanted to contribute something to this thread for ages. Many years ago, even before I got involved with this hobby, I watched a movie with the late great English actor Jack Hawkins (Bridge on The River Kwai Fame). The story line took place, I recall, in Singapore (?) after the war. It was somewhat of an spy movie, us guys versus the "commies" sort of era. But there was a great amount of the movie when they zipped around Singapore, escaping this or chasing that, in a CMP Cab 13 3 Tonner GS. I've been buggered to find or locate the movie. Anyone in the UK recall this movie or "down under" for that matter.

Get out and be part of Remembrance Day tomorrow and "Just Remember". Cheers.....Robert

It could have been the film 'Outpost in Malaya' (1952) - this is what imdb says about it : The marriage of rubber-plantation owner Jim Frazer and his wife, Liz, which has survived many disasters, including years in a Japanese internment camp, is at a breaking point. Under constant threats of bandit attacks and concerned with the safety of his plantation and the people on it, Jim spares no time for his marriage. Liz is to take their young son, Mike, home to school in England, and, without telling Jim, does not plan to return. A neighboring plantation is attacked and the owner killed just prior to her departure. Liz and Jim get arms and ammunition from a near-by town, and a night of terror follows as the bandits attack.

Hi Rick

I put the beginning of the movie so that they can identify.

But the scene in the picture, is when they are building a road on the hill, and the possibility of falling rocks ...
