Binocular Shot: In Mitchell's first scene, he's lying down and watching the seagulls flying above through his binoculars. The camera then shifts to his perspective, just as his wife Diana appears in front of the binoculars. | |

Propaganda Piece | |
The First of the Few / int_8a336276 | comment |
Propaganda Piece: As the film was made during the war and carried a strong message in support of the allies, the British government ensured that the RAF supported it, effectively treating it as propaganda. | |
