The Big Blockade (1942)
Director: Charles Frend
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Like Next of Kin, this was expanded by Ealing from what had been planned as a propaganda short explaining the work of the Ministry of Economic Warfare. Much more didactic than Dickinson's film, and much less well directed, it's strictly a museum piece.Author: TM
