Wirral Ferry sails on The Amazon - 7th Feb 2012 10:56am
Listening to the Cinemaphotographer Christopher Challis in a BAFTA tribute interview he mentioned that before the filming of Powell and Pressburger's End of the River, made in 1947 and starring Sabu a Liverpool Ferry was dismantled and taken to South America to be used for the film. The boat you can see in the film is Aripuana so I am assuming the ferry was used for storage and as a floating hotel. Can anybody help shed light on what boat it was, I have put ideas on the Britmovie web site
End of the River
