49th
Parallel (1941)
Directed by Micahel
Powell this film stars Eric Portman, Laurence Olivier and Leslie
Howard. During WW2 a group of German submariners become stranded in
Canada and try to sneak into the still neutral United States.
Clearly a propaganda
film and not hitting the heights of some of the other
Powell/Pressburger collaborations this is still a decent watch. The
film contrasts the Nazi ideology with the freedom of life in Canada
well. Decently made and with a good “why we fight” theme this is
not the worst propaganda film you will see even if it is not very
subtle.
4/5
