Review of In Which We Serve (1942) by David F — 18 Sep 2007
Dodgy piece of propaganda. It probably did a PR job back in 1942, but Noel Coward's attempt to bridge the class divide has dated badly. Its sense of drama is flat, and next to the same year's Casablanca, it seems witless.
Coward fails to play to his considerable personal strengths, while David Lean would thankfully move on to far better things. Worth watching to see Daniel Massey as a child, and Richard Attenburgh's sparky debut.
