How to behave


A Welcome to Britain (1943)

Directed by Anthony Asquit and star Burgess Meredith this is a WWII era training film made for American troops. We get lessons on how to behave in Britain and understand the locals.

Fascinating as a historical record this film might not have the most thrilling plot but is certainly worth a watch. I really enjoyed seeing the difference in views between the British and Americans of the period. A little on the nose at times this film is not going to win any awards for being subtle.

3/5
