The Way Ahead: Directed by Carol Reed. With David Niven, Stanley Holloway, James Donald, John Laurie. World War II drama that follows a group of British draftees, starting with their rigorous basic training, and ending with their deployment in North Africa.
“This is a good film that was intended to bolster morale during World War II. The cast is very good and headed by David Niven. This is a story primarily of 8 men of different backgrounds who survive their basic training and end up driving Rommel out of North Africa. The film is primarily about how men develop character when push comes to shove and there isnu0026#39;t a whole lot of action. Good story and worth seeing for the strong cast alone.”
