The Balloon Goes Up (1942)
Fun morale-raising caper
17 October 2020 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Completely showing the stars' roots in music hall, this is a good-natured madcap romp through the WAAFs as they recruit to a barrage balloon unit. The last 5-10 minutes are almost entirely documentary-style footage of barrage balloon training and operation, well worth watching if you part of the 'lighter than air' crowd. Some daft songs, Winnie the Wench on the Winch a particular highlight! Cheap and cheerful, lots of fun.
