    I love black and white movies, especially WWII movies. Both my parents were in the army from 1942-1945. My Mum was a First Lieutenant having graduated from Officers Candidate School and my Dad was a Major. When I watch these grand old movies I think of my Mum and Dad and their part in the war effort to defeat Japan and Germany. I really treasure these movies. Thank you.

      British - English - White - Race - Culture and Civilization permeated England before 1900. England’s political Elites felt guilty about their non - white imperialisms and as a liberal form of psychological compensation invited the former empires non - whites to emirate to England. And now the chickens have come home to roost. The same thing can happen to your country!

    I am so thankful you posted this gem of a film, because it helped me, at 67 yrs of age n going through REALLY difficult times of worry, anxiety n doubt, to grab into what is most important in life once again and strengthen my resolve n faith n hope n to realize " This above all to thine own self be true" n reaffirm the things I am lucky enough to be endowed with n stop letting my anxiety n difficulties overwhelm me and fight to realize these hard circumstances will surely end and, as GOD says, lead me to a new beginning for HE STILL has plans for me to accomplish n help others to be able to do the same!!! What an Awesome film to generate all that through just watching it, n the actors, Tyrone Powers n Joan Fontaine, had a GREAT deal to inspire these feeling ngs in me by their amazing performances!!!! Excellent film!!! A true classic!!!

    when i first saw this years ago - i was baffled that Prudence didn't remark on Clive's very american accent - but some research indicates that while the character is english - Power didn't attempt (or wasn't allowed to do) an english accent - that's usually a good thing since struggling with an accent can result in a confused overall performance - Power's moody performance is slightly more nuanced then usual for him - while Joan Fontaine gives a wonderfully vivacious one - however the goings on aren't especially compelling

    Joan Fontaine was mean. Mean Dog Fightin' mean, as Ma Joad might have put it.
    She hated her sister, Olivia de Havilland, and then went on to having estranged relationships with her own daughters because they were caught secretly seeing their Aunt Olivia behind Fontaine's back.
    Her two redeeming values were that she was a licensed pilot and a very good cook.
    I always liked Olivia better, not the least reason for which was that at the right angle she bore a striking resemblance to one of the greatest snipers in history: Lyudmila Pavlichenko, with 309 confirmed kills.

    This Above All: They say that opposites attract, so in this unlikely case, wasn’t convinced by Briggs (Tyrone Power) was lazy, and Catherway, (Joan Fontaine) as badly casted, she was do dramatic and a time waster, thought that Violet (Quennie Leonard) was more his cup of tea, she wasn’t posh, and the real star here.

    Why were the WAAF marching to the RAF March Past? Hollywood not having a clue about things British, perhaps. Nor do British railways stations have Tracks; they have Platforms. I put up with one American playing a British soldier for 50 minutes but when Thomas Mitchell appeared as a British soldier I'd had enough. Mitchell was a great actor but he was hopeless trying to play a British soldier.

    If I had been the young lady @ 8:22 Violet I think, and the person said to take the makeup off because they don’t wear makeup in the “army” I would have retorted that I would leave it on because I wasn’t in the army, I was in the WAAF, the Womens Auxiliary Air Force, completely different entity to the Army. A little slip by the writers, and again @ 10:30+, the WAAF would have been ordered “Flight/Squadron Halt” the Army have Company(s) not the airforce. I think that because the military in the USA, at the time, didn’t have a separate airforce so drill orders were given in the Army way, and they didn’t realise/know that in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 all three services were independent and orders made in the way each service had adopted through their respective history.
