Featured review
Well Worth Watching
In this very atmospheric film. George is already in the Home Guard and we join the story when he is a dispatch rider. Starts film as a Lance Corporal but due to blondering is demoted. However George comes across as very intelligent and saves the day. Lots of set jokes. With an insight into the way the country thought in 1940's. Great support cast. I really enjoyed this film.
