Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Harold French had to halt filming twice when actual Luftwaffe raids struck the studio; some 'set damage' is authentic.

Cultural

Released the same month as the Baedeker Blitz, this was part of a coordinated Ministry of Information effort to discredit pacifist groups—Randall's triumph was government-mandated wish fulfillment.
