John Mills, Leslie Banks and George Cole as the evacuee boy in " Cottage to Let." In circle : Anton Walhrook and Derrick de Mamey in “ Dangerous Moonlight.

For " Ships with Wings " the film photo- grapher spent weeks aboard the aircraft carrier, “ Ark Royal.” but of the thousands of feet of film that he took, only a tiny fraction was seen in the finished production, the story of which was once again the theme of the bad boy who snuffed out his life in an heroic finale that staved off a great disaster. This film amply demonstrated that producers helped by the co-operation of the author- ities concerned should determine the bounds of possibility before mixing studio stuff that strains the credulity of the most gullible.

The uneasy relation- ship between sergeant and private has been the basis for in- numerable jokes and raised laughs in scores of films. These two exploit it again. There is plenty of humour to be found in wartime, for in life laughter inarches hand in hand with tragedy. And while we’re on the subject of the lighter side of war, we must not forget yet another aspect of it that has given film makers great opportunities—the evacuation of the children from crowded towns that are industrial target areas, to be scattered up and down the less densely populated rural districts through Philip Dorn and Jeffrey Lynn in “ Underground." 85
