For Freedom

Intriguing slice of early British wartime propaganda, set against the backdrop of a newsreel company. When the operation's honcho (Will Fyffe) comes across as too laudatory in covering the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia, his apprentice son (Anthony Hulme) quits in protest. He heads to the South Atlantic to record other perspectives and is in position to record the scuttling of the Graf Spee. Guy Middleton, Hugh McDermott, and various heroes of the Battle of the River Plate co-star. 85 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
