In order to disrupt the German war effort a team of pilots go on a dangerous mission to destroy a dam using Barnes Wallis' bouncing bombs. Even without it, this is a stirring tale.
Script adapt .
Diana Dors , Petula Clark , Natasha Parry and Jane Hylton are the factory girls who only come alive when they are at the local Palais. The dramatic stories they get lumbered with are dull but the background is fascinating. A taxi driver helps track down a murderer. Nice to see Richard Attenborough on the right side of the law at this stage of his career and lovely to see him working with his missus Sheila Sim. Different early role for Will Hay as a vicar who bets the parish funds on a racehorse and gets involved in a doping scandal.
