During the dark days of WWII where the British Empire stood alone against the Fascist hordes, common folk left their civilian lives for that of a soldier's and this is the tale of The Way Ahead. We follow a group of civies change from complaining recruits to ass-kickin' Tommies! This is your average propaganda film of the time but its still a lot of fun and has some decent action scenes in it. Couldn't find a trailer but you can watch the whole flick below.

It's one of the great wartime propaganda films that the Brits made. David Niven is terrific as a part-time officer who has to turn professional after Dunkirk, and has a great supporting cast - some of the greats in British cinema, like Stanley Holloway. Thanks for the link, I threw out my VHS copy last year.
ReplyDeleteEvery WW2 fan should watch this film!
