:According to the conclusions of author Andrew Cook, his biographer, which are not accepted by all historians, Melville then became the head of British Secret Service with the code name "M".

That is why we try to always include a link to the IMDb page for each film which, if you had checked it for this film, you would find that he has a small role as an art dealer. At the time these beach movies were a pop phenomenon and several stars of the 30's and 40's might show up in small roles to give them a new audience and for a small payday. Cheers.
