| Synopsis:
A moving drama about a middle-class English family
learning to cope with war, told in a series of dramatic
vignettes. The family, headed by the lovely and
gracious matriarch, endures the departure of the
father for the beaches at Dunkirk, the discovery
of a wounded Nazi pilot, the death of the daughter-in-law
in an air raid, and the entry of the son into the
Royal Air Force. The scenes culminate in a morale-boosting
final speech that President Franklin Roosevelt ordered
printed and air-dropped over war-torn Europe. Condensed
from the novel by Jan Struther. |
