This film is an incredible tearjerker. It is said to have crystallized American support for the British, which hithertofore had been tepid at best. Greer Garson is so charming and angelic that you want to go out and destroy anyone who would dare lay a hand on her. And the way the film portrays Dunkirk is brilliant. You don't hear that there has been a rout at Dunkirk and that anyone owning a boat must render aid. All that we know is that Clem and his friends have been summoned; then, when you see the flotilla, you realize it's Dunkirk. It's true that the depiction of English life is Hollywoodized, but the film is such a masterpiece that such anomalies ought to be forgiven. |

Tearjerker that generated American support for the British
[edit]This film is an incredible tearjerker. It is said to have crystallized American support for the British, which hithertofore had been tepid at best. Greer Garson is so charming and angelic that you want to go out and destroy anyone who would dare lay a hand on her. And the way the film portrays Dunkirk is brilliant. You don't hear that there has been a rout at Dunkirk and that anyone owning a boat must render aid. All that we know is that Clem and his friends have been summoned; then, when you see the flotilla, you realize it's Dunkirk. It's true that the depiction of English life is Hollywoodized, but the film is such a masterpiece that such anomalies ought to be forgiven. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.237.136.88 (talk) 02:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit]I don't have a source to hand (or the time right now to find a source) hence no edit on main page, but I know there was a Lux Radio Theater [UK: Theatre] version in 1943.
