SINGAPORE SUNSET
The Battle for Empire
A MAJOR WORLD WAR II FEATURE FILM |
An action packed love story, set in 1941 amidst the most harrowing three months in the life of the island known as Singapore: The Pearl of the Orient, The Cross Roads of the East, A Cultural Melting Pot. But for the Europeans it is the last of the golden years of Empire - a party town veiled in a sinister twilight.
HARRY PENNINGTON, a charismatic British engineer, OLIVIA, a beautiful heiress, KATE, a feisty Australian nurse, WILL, a laid back American, ABBY, a gorgeous Chinese actress. They find their lives thrown in to turmoil as the Japanese war machine unleashes itself upon the naked island. When the unthinkable happens and the Pride of the British Navy is sunk, nothing will ever be the same again.
Harry Pennington must make some clear decisions. Discipline or honour, loyalty or betrayal, love or desire? Olivia or Kate? But in all the madness is ANYONE making any clear decisions?
WINSTON CHURCHILL called the fall of Singapore “the worst disaster and largest capitulation in British history”.
Mandaley is currently developing the project with Bill Leimbach, producer of BENEATH HILL 60, winner of 12 Australian Film Industry nominations, including Best Film of 2010.
