THE WAY TO THE STARS is much more than a British WW2 propaganda movie. It's a film that offers a glimpse of life inside a British air force base during the Second World War, and it's populated with larger-than-life characters brought to life by an ensemble team of stars who really do justice to their roles. The film has drama, emotion, and heroism in spades, and it's still very watchable with far more depth than you might expect from the era. Some elements of the narrative are familiar but that doesn't stop this being a good time. Michael Redgrave steals his scenes, John Mills provides a solid central presence, and both Basil Radford and Stanley Holloway contribute great character work.
