It's all lovey-dovey at the moment for Stanley Baker and Ginger Rogers as they gaze upon their latest craft, but will they ever board the full-sized version in [B]Beautiful Stranger[/B] (1954)?:

Nyree Dawn Porter rubs her hands with glee as she ponders a voyage on the full-sized version of the vessel which is a "Balance of Terror" perched upon Robert Vaughn's mantelpiece in [B]THE PROTECTORS[/B].

Shipbuilding is the plot's catalyst for [B]The Demi-Paradise[/B] (1943) and so there are numerous models featured throughout the film. Here are a couple of them in the Tisdall household:

Unfortunately, Felix and his model only get two brief scenes in the film, whereas the songs cover all decks from port to starboard.

Maurice Denham is the Governor and Wilfrid Hyde-White the crooks' guv'nor. The model is a nice bit of continuity as in a throwaway line early on in the film, the Governor is referred to as "Commander".
