Millions Like Us (1943)
Directed by writers
Sidney Gillat and Frank Launder this film features Patricia Roc,
Gordon Jackson and Anne Crawford. A young woman from London is sent
to work in a factory during WW2 and falls for an RAF radioman.
This is your classic
war time propaganda but like many other British films of the era
focuses on sacrifice rather than triumphantly claiming superiority.
It takes a while for the film to settle on a central character and
could probably have done with a better first act but over all it
works fairly well. It is nice to see a young Gordon Jackson in an
early role as he went on to be such a staple of British cinema.
3/5
