“THE LION HAS WINGS"
A FILM EVERY BRITISH SUBJECT SHOULD SEE. “The Lion has Wings” tells the story of how Britain gradually awoke to the menace of Hitlerism, the threat to the life and liberties of all Europe which the German war machine proclaimed. Produced with the co-operation of the Royal Air Force, it tells of the swift and efficient transformation of a nation devoted to the pursuits of peace into a people mightily armed to resist aggression. It contrasts in a sequence of fascinating shots the spirit of this country, devoted to sport, seeking education, concerned with progress, with the spirit of Nazi Germany, drilling, marching, organising, preparing day and night for one purpose and one purpose only-—War! The first episodes of tne war are brilliantly reconstructed, including actual shots of the daring raid on Kiel, and featuring the men who
carried out the raid. The whole firm reflects the power and confidence of our people, and the certainty of ultimate victory. Merle Oberon, Ralph Richardson, Flora Robson and June Duprez contribute memorable performances.
