For the most part I thought that Gemma Aterton and Sam Claflin carried this film along – which it really needed sometimes.
It's about the making of B-grade film during the London Blitz to rouse the people of England – and also to appeal to the U.S. audience. This brings to mind - how good can a film be that is about the making of a grade B film? I just felt this film sagged at times – it lacked energy and enthusiasm, it needed a jolt. One kind of occurred when the film- makers met with Anthony Eden who emphasized the requirement for this film to also be made for a U.S. audience.
Considering that I am interested in this time period, but have reservations about the film – it won't be around for years hence – I don't feel it has much interest for a general audience.
