Second World War romance starring Ralph Richardson, Deborah Kerr and Hugh Williams. As the rest of Europe falls to Adolf Hitler, journalist Colin Metcalfe is stationed in Norway, hungry for a scoop. While helping to locate a secret Nazi U-boat base, he becomes romantically involved with the daughter of a local seaman.
Markedly less restrained than many other British tales of wartime resistance, this well-meaning flag-waver is far more effective than the majority of have-a-go Hollywood movies on the same theme. The story of a British journalist liaising with the Norwegian underground to help destroy a German U-boat base is merely par for the course - what sets this apart is a remarkable cast of British stalwarts, not one of whom puts a foot wrong. Special mention should go to Deborah Kerr, who lends quiet courage to an unrewarding romantic part, and Francis L Sullivan as a malevolent Nazi.
