- Summary
-
- In which we serve (1942): A sensitive and stirring piece of propaganda telling the tale of a group of Royal Navy sailors as they battle the Germans in the Mediterranean and of the lives they left back home
- This happy breed (1944): The story of a London family from 1919 to 1939, and their struggle to maintain a stable life in the period between the two World Wars
- Blithe spirit (1945): A sprightly supernatural comedy with winning performances, David Lean's delightful film version of Noel Coward's theater sensation stars Rex Harrison as a novelist who cheekily invites a medium to his house, accidentally summoning the spirit of his dead first wife-- a severe inconvenience for his current one
- Brief encounter (1945): Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson star as middle-class suburbanites whose casual friendship evolves into a passionate yearning for each other. But as their affections grow stronger, they must face a difficult decision that will affect both of their lives forever
