Review of One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (1942) by Tibor B — 11 Mar 2009

Some of Britains finest filmmakers made propaganda driven films during the war, and this is one of Powell and Pressburgers. As a narrative it is fairly dull and heavy going, but it is clearly more interested in informing the public at the time of the sacrifices and support that anti-Nazi groups in Holland were giving the allies, here a bomber crew bailed from their damaged plane.

More of interest from a historical point of view than a particularly enjoyable film, but there are some good moments particularly on the initial bombing runs.
