Alistair MacLean (1922–1987) Scottish novelist (pen name Ian Stuart)
Ice Station Zebra, Screenplay (1968) [with Douglas Heyes, Harry Julian Fink, W.R. Burnett]

Apology by British agent "David Jones" after he nearly shoots a sailor who awakens him. The screenplay was loosely based upon MacLean's 1963 novel of the same name; these lines do not appear there. ]]> https://wist.info/maclean-alistair/50250/feed/ 0 50250
