Leading the group is John Mills , fighting to keep off the bottle and giving one of his best performances. Classic war film that ages well. Paulette Goddard came to Britain to play Mrs Chevely in Korda's version of the Oscar Wilde play. Hugh Williams, Diana Wynyard, C. Aubrey Smith. Not as light as it might have been, but this was always Wilde's darkest play.
Script adapt .
Dirk Bogarde leads the Cretan resistance. Not bad as these things go, but a definite sign of Powell and Pressburger's decline as inventive film makers. Wonderfully theatrical version of Wilde's play. Written by, Starring, and Co-directed by Noel Coward. He even wrote the music.
