Ill Met By Moonlight,
The film starring Dirk Bogarde and Cyril Cusack tells the story of the kidnap of a German General from German occupied Crete in WWII. After our heroes pull off this act of daring, they arrange to be picked up from the shore by a RN destroyer. A very brief view of the "destroyer" is seen, showing her at speed, and one of the final scenes is shot on board where the leading characters are gathered in what seems to be the destroyer's wardroom, at the foot of an accommodation ladder.
In fact, the "destroyer" is a "B" class Fairmile ML, and the "wardroom" is actually the lobby below the bridge, between the galley and the PO's accommodation.
