Germans Give Olivier and Richardson a Hard Time in World War 2 ...
and make tasty cookies too!
I'll make this short and sweet because I'm supposed to be partaking in my Sabbath Technology Fast but snuck back online to tell you about this movie I just saw.
It's called "Q-Planes" (or "Clouds Over Europe" for its American release) and is a British film from 1939 made right at the beginning of World War 2 starring Laurence Olivier and Ralph Richardson (long before either of them were "Sirs"). It's suppose to be a spy thriller/romantic comedy which is an accurate description. For me it was pure, clean fun from beginning to the very last second.
It was designed as a vehicle for Olivier to strut his stuff but it's Richardson who unapologetically steals every scene he is in. With Valerie Hobson holding her own even next to these acting giants, it's great fun to see everyone at the start of their careers and basically just great fun all around.
It meets all of Laura-Lee's Requirements (and then some) and if I still had the images I created and then lost when the Operating System from my previous computer crashed, you would be looking next at my image of 9 out of 10 little, golden Christian fishies. But you'll just have to take my word for it that this film is a bona fide HOOT!
Directed by Tim Whelan and Arthur B. Woods, produced by Alexander Korda and Irving Asher, written by Brock Williams, Ian Dalrymple and Jack Whittingham and enjoyed best with a Vanillekipferl (melt in your mouth German Vanilla Crescent Cookies), you have all the information you need to enjoy this film.
I'd also like to mention that everyone talks excessively fast and since it's a rather poor quality upload because it's an older film, I had to replay a few scenes to catch what was said. I'd like to emphasize that this film will be equally enjoyed by both men and women and no tissues will be needed just a good sense of humour.
This channel has very few advertisements, so you might want to sit through them and hit the Like button as a Thank you to the channel for uploading it. Otherwise, temporarily "pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile", which is something we could use a lot more of these days. Smiles.
Enjoy the movie, being with your sweetheart and the remainder of your weekend. I recommend it with those things in mind.
