(53%) A very simplistic prisoner of war drama from Ealing studios about a Czech man who changes his identity to that of a British captured soldier to avoid being killed. This looks at the life of both the prisoners and their family back home giving a decent incite into the inner workings of wartime for the vast majority of normal people. The performances are largely standard stuff, with some touches of film noir to the again pretty standard direction. While the plot is predicable with very little in terms of surprises, but the fact that this was released only a few years after the war itself, and as everyone back then who watched this had actually lived through the misery of that page in time, so the makers didn't really attempt to over-aggrandise the events that directors now might feel more inclined. Overall this is so-so matinee stuff that I'd only recommend to big war movie buffs.

Given the immediacy, it is perhaps no wonder that the story is leavened with some melodrama and romance, yet watching it now, Basil Dearden's film still has a surprisingly naturalistic aspect.

A Czech escapee form a concentration camp assumes the identity of a dead British officer, but is then recaptured by the Germans and taken to a prison camp. The British soldiers there become very suspicious and believe that the is a Nazi... This is a lovely British war story, told in a different way most POW films - the prisoners were bored, they weren't always nice to each other, the Germans weren't shown as especially evil and there weren't any Americans winning the war. The use of flashbacks to tell us more about the characters and their families was interesting. I wonder whether the letters the prisoners received and wrote were Red Cross letters? If they were then that is a bit of an error on the part of the film makers, as each letter would have been limited to just 25 words. Seems a strange error to make in 1946, but I would be surprised if there was any other form of communication between German prison camps and Britain.

A home front propaganda movies despite being made after the conclusion of the Second World War. It's message is clearly about helping soldiers adjust after returning to Britain but it's a strong enough prison camp drama as well.
