Another movie directed by Anthony Asquith, son of lord Asquith.

Propaganda piece in war time.

Laurence Olivier (with a harsh russian acccent, speaking slowly but thinking fast) is a (Soviet) Russian engineer sent to England to have a proper propeller built in a shipyard at 'Barchester'. We are in the end of summer 1940, UK is now alone at war against Nazi Germany. Industrial and sentimental adventures begin, with Olivier abandonning gradually its prejudices against England, while local people are doing the same about USSR (never named this way).

Then, we are in june 1941: Olivier has returned to England, where he meets again the shipyard owner (Felix Aylmer)'s grand-daughter (Penelope Dudley-Ward)

(I finally found a frame which could make believe our Penelope was pretty)
and romance starts again. Here, they all learn the German attack against USSR and everybody shows his deep concern. And they work harder to make the propeller and the ice-breaker ready. They'll succeed. And Laurence and Penelope will tell their mutual love. The End. Fine.

Olivier is good, Aylmer has witty and nice lines to deliver, but, well… it's a multi-purpose propaganda flick, you know… No conflicts at work, no question about the ease with which our Olivier could cross Germany to go to England in late 1940 (no mention, naturally, of the pact between Hitler and Stalin), etc.

There is light humor and slight criticism… against England (but absolutely none about USSR) but the movie is generally tepid and terribly soaked with 'good sentiments'. Wouldn't it be for Laurence Olivier and, on the side, for Felix Aylmer, a total bore of a non-movie.

Two British convertibles.

Oh, there is another IDable car here on the right:
