The Lion Has Wings (1939)

Alexander Korda produced ‘documentary’ (read propaganda film) about the early British war effort makes heavy use of dramatizations. Picture follows the typical nice-guy-peace-loving-Brits-quirkily-unit-for-the-cause-of-right plot structure typical of pretty much any British film of the time. Notable for big names who appear in film, like Merle Oberon (Korda’s wife at the time), Ralph Richardson and James Bond creator Ian Fleming. 3 out of 5.
