Sorry about the negative waves but like M*A*S*H and Catch 22 it was about the war going on in Vietnam at the time.

Have just seen RTÉ run a trailer for the 5th in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise; 'Dead Men Tell No Tales' RTÉ One, Sat 22.08.2020 @ 18:35. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this movie released as 'Salazars Revenge' in Ireland.

Sidney Sheldon's Bloodline 1979. Thriller. Directed by Terence Young.

Harry I'm showing that Quatermass and the Pit is on at 11pm on Mon 12 Oct. on TPTV

Well worth a watch, Nigel Kneale's original TV drama brought to the screem.
Allowing that the effects maybe a bit ropey , the story is original and quite disturbing.
