True as a Turtle is a 1957 British comedy film directed by Wendy Toye and starring John Gregson, Cecil Parker, June Thorburn and Keith Michell. A young couple embark on a voyage on a ketch named Turtle. John Coates wrote the screenplay based on his novel of the same name.
The England maritime location was mainly the river Hamble. The yacht club is the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. The motor yacht "Liberty" was M.Y. "Rinansey", my father was engineer aboard her prior to the filming.
Some of the film crew stayed at "The Moorings", Back Street (now Rope Walk) in Hamble. I know this because it was my home which my parents ran as a B&B. I remember watching some of the filming, very entertaining to a 9-year-old boy.

Filmed on location in Switzerland the story concerns two young bachelors taking separate skiing holidays at the same resort. Clive Morton (Nigel Patrick) and "Humpy" Miller (David Tomlinson) have nothing whatsoever in common—except for one thing, both men fall for the hotel proprietor's daughter Mary (Jill Day). As the story progresses Clive, a debonair soldier and sportsman gets quickly into his stride as poor "Humpy" a clumsy, incongruous fellow looks on dumbly.

During the Second World War, the British government hands out a top-secret mission to two look-alikes, an airman and a secret agent (both played by Rix). The airman is instructed to impersonate the agent to confuse the Germans, while the real agent must enter occupied France to spy on the new buzz bombs. Unfortunately, their orders get mixed up and the airman ends up in France. When he is accidentally fired back to England inside one of the defused bombs, the airman becomes a national hero. Meanwhile the real agent tries in vain to prove his true identity.
