Review of 49th Parallel (1941) by Mark S — 04 Nov 2011
This started off pretty shakily, with Laurence Olivier's French-Canadian accent not amongst his finest moments, but the cast list for the film is quite misleading, because the three 'leads' actually all play quite small parts in the film - the story actually focusing on Eric Portman and five other Nazis on the run after escaping the destruction of their U-boat in Hudson Bay.
What follows is great anti-Nazi propaganda. I love that screenwriter Emeric Pressburger commented, "Goebbels considered himself an expert on propaganda, but I thought I'd show him a thing or two.
".
