[Healeys] On The Beach - Ava Gardner in Healey

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day Keith

You're dead right. Neville Shute's book was far better than the film.

I went through a stage of reading every Neville Shute book I could find. My
favourite was "Trustee from the Toolroom". 

All of Shute's books left Biggles for dead.
