Wasn't YENTYL featuring Barbara Streisand filming a scene on the ship round about that time? it would fit the bill.

Yes, all the films mentioned on this thread so far had scenes of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company vessels.

This piece of the Manxman was actually refurbished for a part in a film/drama, I don't know which one though.

The Manxman was, as Helles said used in "Chariots of Fire". Was shown at the old/real Woodside landing stage. Everyone was boarding the "Ferry to Calais" !
