Staged with what passed at the time for honest understatement, it now looks impossibly patronising, the epitome of stiff upper lip.

After enemy torpedoes sink the British ship, Captain Kinross, Chief Petty Officer Hardy and Shorty Blake reminisce in a lifeboat. While the three navy men pray they'll come out of this alive... back home during the Blitz, Shorty's wife Freda gives birth to their child. [More]

Reviews for In Which We Serve
In Which We Serve is not only one of the greatest of all British war movies but also marks the mighty David Lean's first major contribution to cinema.
No less than half a dozen credits for this film go to Noel Coward. And they're well earned.
One of the most eloquent motion pictures of these or any other times had its American premiére at the Capitol Theatre last night.
