"Murphy's Law" takes the theme of "Brown on Resolution" (aka "Forever England"), remade as "Sailor of the King" (aka "Single-handed"), of a sailor marooned on an island taking his revenge on the German vessel that sank his ship, with an ending reminiscent of that of "The African Queen".
The other films were more convincing (or less unconvincing), as I found it difficult to believe in Murphy's two attacks on the submarine. And though atrocities at sea were committed by all sides during war, I found the one in "Murphy's War" a little unbelievable. Had the U-boat crew - or even its captain - been portrayed as fervent Nazis embittered by losing the war , their actions would have been more credible.
Although the aircraft and submarine may not have been authentic, at least they, the workboat and the scenery looked good. And thank goodness there was no contrived romance between the doctor and Murphy.
