Hand in Hand

Seven-year-olds Michael and Rachel are best friends who do everything together and who have vowed to remain friends "forever and ever and can't be parted for never and never".

The fact that Michael is Irish Catholic and Rachel is Jewish is a point of conflict for just about everyone in the community.

Went the Day Well? (48 Hours)
Screenplay
Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un grupo de soldados británicos llega a la aldea inglesa de Bramley End. Al principio son bien recibidos por los lugareños, pero muy pronto éstos empiezan a dudar de su identidad y de sus verdaderos propósitos.

Go to Blazes
Writer
Ministry of Information-sponsored comedy short showing wartime audiences how to deal with the threat of incendiary bombs.
Ships with Wings
Screenplay
Before the war, a Fleet Air Arm pilot is dismissed for causing the death of a colleague. Working for a small Greek airline when the Germans invade Greece, he gets a chance to redeem himself and rejoin his old unit on a British carrier. This is regarded the last of the conventional, rather stiff 1930's style Ealing war films, to be succeeded by much more realism and better storytelling.
