An English factory worker named Fred Carrick (Clifford Evans) is sent to France to obtain vital equipment in anticipation of a Nazi invasion of Great Britain. He is assisted by an American woman (Constance Cummings), two British soldiers (Tommy Trinder, Gordon Jackson), a French mayor (Robert Morley), a passport official (Mervyn Johns), and a stationmaster (Ernest Milton). The film explores how people, no matter how different, can achieve the nearly impossible when they band together.

Monthly Film Bulletin

Sincerely made and based on fact, the direction is brilliantly restrained, the production most admirable and the acting first-class.

Interesting WW2 comedy film with a little comedy and a lot of propaganda as British servicemen bring back some machinery from France before falling into enemy hands. For a little film it carried a very strong message.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
