PRO Reviews

| PRO | | | "One of the screen's proudest achievements at any time and in any country." | | (Newsweek) | | | "The surprising thing about [it] is not that Coward ventured it... but that he has been technically elastic enough to strip the green carnation from his lapel, toss aside his Saville Row raiment, and convincingly work up a proletarian sweat that to the eyes and olfactory organs seems as authentic an article as that distilled by such practiced literary ditch-diggers as Steinbeck and Odets." | | (Herb Sterne, Rob Wagner's Script) | | | "Never at any time has there been a reconstruction of human experience which could touch the savage grandeur and compassion of his production." | | (Howard Barnes, New York Herald Tribune) | | | "The finest war drama produced yet and because of the strength of its understatement and recognition occasionally of human weakness if propaganda of the very best sort. It should be seen by all." | | (MFB) | | | "Like a hymn to human nobility, staunchness, friendship and love." | | (Manchester Guardian) | | | "We must recognize the technical skill, the command of the medium which has gone to its making. The authority with which the complex strands of the narrative are handled, the mastery of simple, unemphatic dialogue, the easy unobtrusive use of camera angle and movement - all are here. And the acting was pretty near faultless... In Which We Serve took a handful of typically British men and women and made from their stories, ordinary enough in themselves, a distillation of national character." (Dilys Powell) | | |
