Featured review
Landfall review
Michael Denison plays a young WWII RAF pilot blamed for the sinking of a British submarine in this solid drama from Ken Annakin. Although made in 1949, it plays like wartime propaganda at times with a strong focus on emphasising (not entirely convincingly) the breakdown of social barriers between the classes. Some tensions are overplayed - it's inconceivable that the Naval commander in charge of the testing of an experimental bomb would be unaware of the identity of the pilot tasked with flying the plane that drops it - but the likeability of Denison and Patricia Plunkett makes Landfall an enjoyable watch.
