The Lion Has Wings (1939)
Alexander Kordas Beitrag zur britischen Kriegsanstrengung zeigt die Welt sowohl im Frieden als auch am Rande der Nazi-Herrschaft. Durch die Kombination von Wochenschauaufnahmen und Spielszenen entstand ein Film im Dokumentarstil. Als erstes Werk dieser Art unter den Propagandafilmen des Zweiten Weltkriegs demonstriert er die Macht des britischen Weltreichs und dessen Entschlossenheit, sich den Unterdrückern von Moral und freiem Willen entgegenzustellen.
Die Regisseur: Adrian Brunel, Brian Desmond Hurst, Michael Powell, Alexander Korda.
