5.0 out of 5 stars So accurate it even surprised Mum, 26 Feb 2007

By	M. Hall "a Brit" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A great film, my Mum was a war worker and found the film amazing and really moving, so close to home it brought on a few tears and many smiles of rememberance. We should not forget the work at home in the UK accepting the concept of 'Total War', all citizens, in uniform or out being fully in the fight, this film brings it home, with humour, sadness and reality. A real gem and for those who like modern history an absolute must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Women and the War Effort, 15 Jan 2009

By	Lulu (London) - See all my reviews

If you like This Happy Breed and A Canterbury Tale you will enjoy this film, set in the middle years of the Second World War.

Patricia Roc, normally cast in more glamorous roles, plays a shy young London girl called up to do war work, but instead of the more appealing WAAF or WRNS she is assigned to a munitions factory. It might sound a dull subject at first, but the film is full of fascinating period details and deft touches of comedy as well as the more serious message that everyone had to play a part if Britain was to have any hope of survival.

There is a strong supporting cast of well-known British actors: Megs Jenkins plays a working-class Welsh girl (from a Depressed Area) with a university education, who sees the war as part of an even greater struggle for social progress. Anne Crawford portrays a spoilt d�butante who finds the whole thing tiresome and does her best to contribute as little as possible short of actual sabotage, but her attitude begins to change when she becomes attracted to the factory foreman, played by Eric Portman (though not listed on the DVD cover) in his native Yorkshire accent. The heroine meanwhile has met a young Scottish airman, played by Gordon Jackson, and their shy, tentative courtship is one of the most touching aspects of the story.

The film ends on a defiant note. It was made at a time when victory was by no means certain, and the tone reflects that; but the underlying message is of hope and comradeship, and of the value and worth of ordinary people, the Millions Like Us.

5.0 out of 5 stars best of all Brit working class featured movies, 27 Dec 2006

By	N. Olofsson "Simon ~T" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Millions Like Us - the best of all working class featured movies, a couple of decades before that useless era of Brit film. Writing with intelligence and plot better than any other in its writing, compared to what is usually considered the era for this type of film, the totally overrated 60~s Brit Film. Try this first.
