Angels One Five
(1953)
Runtime: 98 min
Country:
UK
Language: English
Synopsis: Jack Hawkins, John
Gregson and Michael Denison do well in this low-key, intelligent Second World
War drama that attempts to show the reality of service life during the Battle
of Britain. Director George More O'Ferrall draws on his first-hand knowledge of
the subject, gained during wartime RAF service, to probe the emotions behind
the British stiff upper lip. It was a big hit in its day, and is still worth
the time now.
Cast: Jack Hawkins, Michael Denison, Dulcie
Gray.

Jack Hawkins
Born: 14 September 1910, Wood
Green, London, England, UK
Died: 18 July 1973, London, England,
UK.
Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia: Rugged,
square-jawed British actor whose innate strength and rich voice ideally suited
him to play authoritarians. In films from the early 1930s, Hawkins essayed
juveniles and character parts for many years, then came into his own in the
1950s. Best remembered as the Egyptian ruler in Land of the Pharaohs (1955),
the stiff-upper-lipped Major Warden in The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), an
intrepid C.I.D. inspector in Gideon of Scotland Yard (1958), Quintus Arrius in
BenHur (1959), the former military officer turned criminal in The League of
Gentlemen (1960), and General Allenby in Lawrence of Arabia (1962). Stricken
with throat cancer in 1966, Hawkins had an operation that forced the removal of
his larynx; gamely, he continued acting in pictures, for which his voice was
dubbed by others. He was once married to actress Jessica Tandy (1932-42). |
