Churchill's Island
(1941)
Directed by Stuart
Legg this is an Oscar winning short documentary. We see the military
and civilian defences of Britain in action as the island worries
about invasion.
As a historical record
or piece of propaganda no doubt this is an important film but as a
piece of entertainment viewing maybe less so. A little on the long
side for my taste never the less this is well made piece that makes
good use of newsreel footage. Probably one more for history students
than those of us looking for entertainment though.
3/5
