Secret Mission (1942)

During WWII, four British Intelligence agents (James Mason, Michael Wilding, Hugh Williams, Roland Culver) go behind enemy lines in occupied France to gather information on German fortifications. Directed by Harold French (THE MAN WHO WATCHED TRAINS GO BY), this slice of WWII British propaganda isn't half bad. Director French marches it along at an energetic tempo though the romantic subplot between Williams and Carla Lehmann clutters it up a bit. Still, the movie manages to give us a smidgen of what it was like for the French folk living under Nazi occupation. As cinema, it may be run of the mill fare but it hasn't forgotten the entertainment value amidst the stoicism and fortitude. With Stewart Granger, Herbert Lom and Nancy Price.
