They Were Not Divided (1950 b/w)

5SPIKE, 3.55PM ★★★

Twelve years before he directed the first two James Bond films, Terence Young drew on his time as a Second World War guards officer for this British film following three young soldiers through their training, to landing at Normandy and on to the Ardennes Offensive. Keep an eye out for before-they-were-famous turns from Desmond Llewellyn (Bond’s original Q) and Christopher Lee.
