For Freedom (1940 film)
For Freedom is a 1940 British drama film directed by Maurice Elvey and Castleton Knight. It was made largely for propaganda purposes during the Second World War. It features Will Fyffe, Guy Middleton, and Terry-Thomas.
Through its blending of fiction and documentary it was similar to The Lion Has Wings produced by Alexander Korda's London Films.
The film portrays the early events of the war, particularly the Battle of the River Plate, from the point of view of a British newsreel production company.Cast
