Second World War drama starring Dirk Bogarde. In 1943, RAF bomber pilot Tim Mason begins to feel the strain of numerous sorties over Germany, but he is determined to complete his quota of missions.
This routine Second World War drama finds the normally reliable Dirk Bogarde slightly off-form as a pilot grounded on doctor's orders. His determination to continue flying is deflected momentarily by his love for naval intelligence widow Dinah Sheridan and the disappearance of comrade Bryan Forbes after he's caught tinkering with a code machine. It's all pretty much as you'd expect, but a little more insight into the lives of the air crews would have filled in the gaps left by the absence of flag-waving propaganda.
