In the midst of World War II, the renowned playwright Noël Coward engaged a young film editor named David Lean to help him realize his vision for an action drama about a group of Royal Navy sailors fighting the Germans in the Mediterranean. Coward and Lean ended up codirecting the large-scale project—an impressive undertaking, especially considering that neither of them had directed for the big screen before. Cutting between a major naval battle and flashbacks to the men’s lives before they left home, In Which We Serve was a major breakthrough for both filmmakers and a sensitive and stirring piece of propaganda.
