WE recently published a feature on the massive variety of movies which were filmed in this area.

Although we covered a lot of titles, there were a couple we left out. And we're really grateful to Esmee Nicholls of Weymouth for getting in touch to remind us of these films.

Some Looking Back readers might remember You Know What Sailors Are, a 1954 movie which was filmed in Weymouth.

It starred Donald Sinden, Michael Hordern, Bill Kerr, Dora Bryan and Akim Tamiroff.

The storyline featured three British naval officers who, while out on a drunken spree, attach a pram and a pawnbroker's sign to the stern of a foreign naval ship.

The next morning, an officer misinterprets the pram and sign as state of the art, top-secret radar equipment. Instantly, the British navy decrees that their ships be fitted with the same device. Thereafter, bureaucratic misunderstandings escalate into a major international incident.

Esmee also informed us that there was another movie filmed in the 1950s in Portland Harbour called The Key, starring William Holden, Trevor Howard, Sophia Loren and Kieron Moore.

The film is set in wartime England and features an American named David Ross who arrives to captain one of these tugs. He's given a key by a fellow tugboat-man - a key to an apartment and its pretty female resident. Should something happen to the friend, Ross can use the key.

Esmee also wished to share her memory of Pullingers restaurant at Weymouth's pier bandstand after we recently reminisced about some of the celebrity lunches held there.

"Me and my husband had our wedding reception there in 1962," she said.

"I remember it was during that very harsh winter of 1962 and 1963 and our guests couldn't leave Weymouth because of the snow."
