Review of Dunkirk (1958) by Frank-Raymond P — 29 Mar 2018
Having been recently blown away by Nolan's IMAX effort of the same name I figured I'd re-visit this classic with John Mills. I remembered the film fairly fondly but it didn't really stand up to time.
The plot is drawn out and lacks focus on any one person of particular point. It's way, way too long and lacks any real emotional edge. Nice to see that Nolan did make one or two nods to this film though.
This probably doesn't stand up as one of the greats of War or British cinema however.
