To mark the week of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe, Riverside brings you a series of special screenings of British films and documentaries that were actually made during the conflict, with each screening pairing a feature with documentary material supplied by the Imperial War Museum.
IN WHICH WE SERVE (1942, 114m)
This screening will be preceded by two short British war documentaries made by the Crown Film Unit:
Listen to Britain (1942,19m) + London Can Take It! (1940, 9m)
Lawrence of Arabia director David Lean shared the directing credit with Noël Coward, who wrote and starred in this tense and moving account of life on board a wartime destroyer. Although based on the experiences of Louis Mountbatten, this is a state-of-the-nation film with social divisions on shore faithfully mirrored aboard ship. Lean arranged all the camera set-ups and directed Coward in his scenes in front of the camera.
