Confirm or Deny, WWII Movie starring Don Ameche and Joan Bennett. Photo is a promotional poster from Wikipedia.
(1941) This movie takes place in September 1940 when the London Blitz was in full force. When it came out, our country was not yet in the war.
A good visualization of what was happening in London at that time … the bombings, the air raid shelters, how the English people coped.
I enjoyed watching how a news office operated with the teletype machine and the censor looking over every story. Don Ameche plays an American reporter working in London who believes, because of a note flown in on a carrier pigeon, that Hitler is en route to invade Britain.
This never happened, of course, but I imagine that it was such a terrifying thought that it increased the popularity of this film.
