This England (1941)
Directed by David MacDonald
Overview
Set in Claverly Village, it follows the fortunes of the Rookebys (Clements) and the ne’r-do-well Appleyards (Williams) from the time of the Normans, 1588, 1804, 1914, and 1940. Made to support morale during the war, its message is basically that you can’t suppress the British; they’ve been there since the beginning; they’ll be there to the end.
