War and British Humour

On the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War we are showing Attenborough's satirical and scathing observation of the time up to and during the Great War reflected in the songs of the period.

An eminent cast of British actors: John Mills, John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Michael Redgrave, Maggie Smith, Susannah York.....and more.

Review

"Based on Joan Littlewood’s beloved stage play about the First World War and featuring an all-star cast, Lord Richard Attenborough’s outstanding directorial debut employs song, satire and absurdist humour to deliver a potent critique of the senselessness of war and how the callousness and stupidity of leaders led to the devastation of a generation of young men." - Alan Braude from the Toronto International Film Festival
