During its initial release, Britain has gone to war but it's still a few months before Dunkirk. This is a British propaganda film explaining the cause of WWII. This is a presentation of Britain's casus belli. Britain is a peaceful country while the militant Germans impose their will upon Europe. I can do without the actors and the war machinery at the beginning is mostly obsolete. They do get into the factories to see the manufacturing and that's pretty interesting. The war action is a mix of real footage and recreations but is mostly fine. It tries to tie in the ongoing war with historical conflict and that's not necessary. The propagandists are probably throwing everything including the kitchen sink at this thing. Quite frankly, it's too long by half. This needs to be a patriotic thirty to forty five minutes. They need to get people in and get them out riled up. This is a little long and probably leaves its audience a little tired.
