In Which We Serve / UK / 1942

Upper lips have rarely been stiffer than in this propagandist wartime drama from writer-director-star Noel Coward, but it’s a fascinating and rather moving exploration of a very real world, thankfully left behind. It’s social politics may be rather dated, but as a depiction of dedication and sacrifice the film still leaves a mark- American films of the day may have preferred a lot of shooting, shouting and rugged heroism, but for my money there’s more emotional power in Celia Johnson’s motionless little finger than in a whole slew of weeping Midwestern mothers.
