In Which We Serve tells the story of the Royal Navy Destroyer HMS Torrin and those that serve in her. In the battle of Crete she is dive-bombed and goes down fighting. The survivors tell their own stories, at war and on the home front, as they wait for rescue from their lifeboat.
Created by actor-writer-director-producer Noel Coward as a morale booster for Britain at war, the film is rightly recognised as a classic of its genre. Coward received the Honary Academy Award for his "outstanding production achievement".
An outstanding cast includes John Mills, Bernard Miles, Celia Johnson, and Coward himself. The film was co-ordinated by David Lean.
