Movie Reviews of In Which We Serve
Movie Review: H.M.S. Torrin
Summary: 3 Stars
This WWII movie has Noel Coward written all over it. He acts in it, co-directs it with David Lean, and produced it. This movie goes into a great deal of detail about the life of the destroyer, her majesty's ship Torrin, and the crew on her. There is some action during fights with airplanes and ships, but most of the movie is centered on reflecting back on times aboard ship and on shore with families after the ship is sunk. These memories occur while they are trying to survive in a lifeboat while being strafed by German bombers. You genuinely feel you know what it was like for British Naval families when the movie is over. The level of detail is incredible. You will feel like you are right there with them. This seems a little bit like a documentary story but it does have live action throughout. You will see numerous familiar faces if you are a fan of classic British cinema. As some others mentioned the only negative is overly stiff acting by Coward even for playing a ships Captain. The rest the cast played their parts beautifully. I recommend it.
Summary of In Which We Serve
IN WHICH WE SERVE (DVD MOVIE)Based on the true story of Lord Mountbatten's destroyer, In Which We Serve is one of the most memorable British films made during World War II. Unfolding in flashback as survivors cling to a dinghy, the film interweaves the history of HMS Torrin with the onshore lives of its crew. The 1942 film was the inspiration of Noel Coward, who desperately wanted to do something for the war effort, and he produced, wrote the screenplay, composed the stirring score, and starred as Captain Edward Kinross. Coward also officially codirected, though he handed the reigns to David Lean (in his directorial debut). There is fine support from Celia Johnson and John Mills, as well as a star-making debut from an uncredited Richard Attenborough. The use of real navy and army personnel as extras, together with lavish studio production and authentic shipboard location footage, lends the film an unusual sense of realism. A landmark in the careers of many of the most important names in British film, this moving and occasionally harrowing classic has a vital place in the development of British cinema. --Gary S. Dalkin
