Hope and Glory 1987
The outbreak of World War 2 is seen through the eyes of a 9 year old boy.
Semi autobiography of director John Boorman, shows us the day Churchill announcement of Britain at war with Germany, men signing up, the Anderson shelter and the evacuees. It does have some comedy elements with Ian Bannen as the grumpy grandfather.
