The Lion Has Wings

1939
Drama
War
1h 16m
A "documentary" style film to praise the R.A.F. at the start of World War II. The 'Michael Powell' touch adds to the stock footage to bring us the people involved in a bomber attack on the Keil Canal and a Spitfire night fighter repulsion of the Nazi bombers. (imdb)

Dramatized documentary to contribute to the war effort as well as help finance and keep people active when they had to halt production for The Thief of Bagdad (1940) when war broke out. Pure propaganda, and good for what it is.
