“These Dutch girls are wizard!” They certainly are- another of Powell and Pressburger’s wartime morale boosters, shifting the plot of the previous year’s 49th Parallel to Holland, this time stranding a team of RAF pilots behind enemy lines, forced to rely on the sheer pluck and goodwill of the locals to bring them home safe. Once again, Powell refuses to brutalise the enemy too much- the Germans here are little more than faceless drones, frightened half to death by British planes passing overhead.
