Review :
Great for the period
Of course this is a low budget effort, of course the acting is stiff and very odd to our modern eyes.
It is of the time and included the rather funny way that actors and directors of the old English school did things. Note the early scene with Rennie's farewell, she studies the ground and then looks away from him, these sorts of dramatic methods of "showing deep sorrow or concern" are never used today and really do look quite funny.
In addition to the clean suits and perfect hair, check out when the 2 German soldiers get their uniforms taken by the leading men but even though the Germans are from the same unit, the uniforms are quite different a while later. There was simply not enough money to do it right.
Better to fast fwd some of the more obvious bits and just enjoy this period film of a long gone time.
