Seven Were Saved is a 1947 English-language Adventure Drama motion picture written by Julian Harmon and Maxwell Shane. The movie is directed by William H. Pine and produced by William H. Pine, William C. Thomas and L.b. Merman under the banner of Medallion Pictures. A nurse is taking an amnesia victim, who was imprisoned by the Japanese during WW II, to the United States in a plane piloted by Richard Denning. The passengers include a Japanese colonel on his way to Manila to face war-crime charges, and a couple who were married on the day they were liberated from a Japanese prison camp. During the flight, the colonel breaks away from his guards, causes the plane to go out of control, and it crashes into the sea. The survivors get into a rubber boat and go through a minor-league version of Lifeboat, with no Alfred Hitchcock sightings, until Air-Sea Rescue pilot Jim Willis rides to the rescue. Written by Les Adams.
