Accurately portrays conditions for men serving in the Navy at the time. Shows just how social conditions have changed since WWII. Some great names of the time with excellent performances from Bernard Miles and John Mills as well as a great performance from Noel Coward. Life was so different then.

There is a certain type of film that does not need big special effects or outrageous plots to captivate an audience. Sadly that type of film is all to rare these days, but in the glory days of Black & White and of British cinema there are many, and In Which We Serve is in my view top of the class. The story is told by a group of survivors floating in alongside an oilstained liferaft, waiting for rescue. The film is rich in flashbacks, showing the ship HMS Torrin, from her launch to her eventual destruction. She is not a fancy battleship, she does not sink enemy subs by the score, she is a British destroyer, and her duty is escorting convoys or evacuating troops from the Normandy beaches. You get to know her crew, from lowley stoker to Captain, and you see their lives on amd off ship. You also see the war from the singular point of view of this one ship and it's crew, and it makes for very dramatic watching. Starring Noel Coward and John Miles, this is a film that doesn't glorify or try to justify war, or make any properganda from it. It is a story of everyday people in darkestday circulmstances, and of true bravery. This is a must for any war film collection.Read full review
