Review of In Which We Serve (1942) by Peter N — 01 Jun 2008
I'd forgotten what a good film this was. OK the humour and dialogue is terribly dated ... and the portrayal of the lower ranks is unbelievably patronising. But the flash back technique works brilliantly and the film is given extra charm by the fact it was made while the war was still raging.
The scenes where John Mills tells Bernard Miles that his wife is dead and where Coward says goodbye to his crew are especially moving. Also watch out for a very young Dickie Attenborough.
