Final scenes are of the landing in England where the girl finds the man for whom she was searching . ^ „, ^. "A good human mterest film. . . Air- planes, bombs, and wounded, exhausted sol- diers add to the emotional effects. The Eng- lish accent in the narrator's voice makes it difficult to understand all of the conversation. "The emotional appeal is so emphasized that it would be a better film for a com- munity meeting on national defense than for class work. It could be used, however, for high school groups in current events. Col- laborator B&H 16-$8.50; rent NFS 16-sale apply; 50c CFC 16 FC 16 Gut 16-sale apply; rent $1.50 DEFENSE OF MOSCOW.

"Filmed under fire at incredibly short ranges, this picture contains amazing fighting scenes from the terrific battle that has been raging in the desert. Savage tank attacks send up whirling clouds of dust, as point-blank artillery fire clears the way, and damaged tanks are picked up by huge trailer trucks in the midst of the fire. "The spectator rides with bombers as they dive into the thick of the fray, dropping their deadly load on enemy mechanized equipment. "A British convoy, fighting its way from Gibralter under terrific attack by Axis planes, finally wins through, though not without loss.

Rather gruesome for schools — unnecessary for their education. Does not teach how to act in such catastrophies. British propaganda, but all right for adults because it shows how brave the English are and the horrors they have had to meet." Collaborator "English accent hard to understand." Harry H.
