1965ref. 132145Burbank CA: Warner Brothers 1965. Estimating script for an unproduced film. The story of a small contingent of militant mercenaries who attempt to stir up a conflict between Cuba and the United States by piloting a hostile decoy Navy ship into enemy waters off Key West only to be thwarted by the actual Navy and a few well-meaning American citizens taken hostage. No doubt mirroring some of the public's concerns at the time given the tenuous peace established by the Cuban Missile Crisis the film remained unproduced perhaps considered too sensationalist or close to home.
