Any movie produced by “The Archers” Michael Powell, director, and Emeric Pressburger, writer, are worth watching. Among my top favs by The Archers are “I Know Where I’m Going”, “One of our Airplanes is Missing”, “49th Parallel” and others.
The entire Film industry of Britain focuse on WWII films during the war because the industry had been shuttered in WWI. This was an adjustment that kept them working.
Leslie Howard became a producer/director of WWII films: “The Gentle Sex”, “The Story of the Spitfire”, his greatest which must have put a price on his head by the Nazis, “Pimpernel Smith”. Howard was on a top secret mission to Spain for the British high command. His plane was shot from the skies and he was lost. Better known as “Ashley” in “Gone With the Wind”, he also starred in Bernard Shaw’s film version of “Pygmalian”.
The “propaganda” films churned out during WWII by the Brits show how a country stands together against those who would end her.
