Flawed patriot
The Second World War was not at all clean cut, two sides, either or.
Today's film focuses on a newspaper editor who refuses to go along with the neutrality of his country. All try to dissuade him, even the King.
No dice.
His personal life is not so clear cut. Two lovers and a wife. Busy man. And he had to meet those deadlines.
The film is in black and white and is of the old style of narration. Straight forward. But complicated situations.
I like WWII films because I grew up within it. This film is no exception. It is so good that I would gladly watch it again.
There are no troops in this war. It is a story of conscience.
