Britons in Battle • Comedy, UR

After scene-stealing performances in The Lady Vanishes (1938) and Night Train to Munich (1940), Charters and Caldicott (Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne) take centre stage in this charming spy comedy. When the duo are mistaken for German agents, they receive a gramophone record which contains vital information for Britain's enemies. This warm wartime comedy was adapted from a BBC radio serial of the same name.
