Film makers also need catering services.

And sometimes clowns as well.

They’re the steam-boats from the Maltese Navy!

I mean, really, guys.

In the remake of Pearl Harbour, the producers can borrow Manuel Mallia’s navy.

Smells fishy? Possibly. It appears there is no running water in the Mallia household. Servants are sent out all the way to Piazza San Gorg to fill up jerry cans from the ornamental fountains there.

He ain’t got no purrtty mouth but I bet he can squeal for fun.

I would have expected Jose Herrera (Culture) to do it.

Manuel Mallia seems and appears to be acting like the Deputy Prime Minister. Do I smell something fishy there?
