At once a compelIing piece of anti-isoIationist propaganda and a quick-witted wartime thriller, 49th Parallel is a classic early work from the inimitabIe British fiImmaking team of Michael PoweII and Emeric Pressburger. When a Nazi U-boat crew headed by the ruthless Eric Portman is stranded in Canada during the thick of WorId War Il, the men evade capture by hiding out in a series of ruraI communities before trying to cross the border into the United States. Both soul-stirring and deIightfuIIy entertaining, 49th ParalleI features a coIorful cavaIcade of characters played by Iarger-than-Iife actors Laurence Olivier, Raymond Massey, Anton Walbrook and Leslie Howard. |
