Grant R May 6 Anther great British WW2 film by Mr. Powell. Escape from Holland, done with class. See more Steve D 03/22/2024 Decent story bad executions. See more Andy F 08/31/2022 Terrific tale. Always full of admiration for films made while the war was in full swing. See more Paul G 01/25/2021 A surprisingly good film. There film suggests this is based on a true story but I don't see this mentioned on-line so I think the film is fictional but possibly based on a generalised recovery of shot down and recovery of Allies. I guess there should have been more fear from the soldiers as they never seemed to be phased with any of the circumstances but the events were very interesting. worth a watch. See more 11/24/2014 Another early wartime collaboration from The Archers (Powell and Pressburger, later to create The Red Shoes and Black Narcissus, among other phantastic films). The plot here is straightforward enough: an RAF crew has to bail out over the Netherlands when their engines fail and then need to find their way out of Nazi-occupied territory and back to the UK. How they manage this (with the help of Dutch locals) represents the main action (and suspense) of the film. But far from being humdrum, the Archers present these methodical steps in a lyrical way with affectionate characterizations from memorable character actors -- and as much quirkiness as can be safely rendered in what were very serious times. Most of the collaborators' magic is yet to come but this is still worth a watch.
