The Way Ahead | COLORIZED | David Niven | Old Drama Movie | Full Movie

[@SuperSetsquare]

One of the best accounts of camaraderie the building of a fighting force. Good to see it in colour but regardless of the format ONE OF THE GREATEST WAR MOVIES.

[@dicostigan1449]

Propaganda, not war! I was thinking that the young men of today wouldn't be as gullible as those in the 1940s, and then I read your fatuous comment!

I always had a sense of foreboding as that final scene unfolds.. because you know that in real life.. not all of them would have made it.. maybe none of them. Its one of those movies that doesnt really have a happy ending. But seeing it in colour was a revelation.

[@rjglennon2219]

This is one of my favourite films but its really good to see it in colour

[@SteveBrownRocks2023]

I LOVE colorized old b&w movies, newsreels, photos, etc.! This is a GREAT movie, thank y’all for letting us see it! ✨👏🏼😎✨

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

I just love how the colour changes from frame to frame.

[@jerryrichardson2799]

With an Eric Ambler screenplay, no less.

[@user-mj9fp6ox2j]

What an amazing film of memorable times with a wonderful cast.

[@Stannington]

One of my favourite films this

[@arthurmcbride1235]

David Niven was a real officer in the Army when this was made, and a commando combat veteran. He made a couple of these movies during his ww2 service for public morale

[@pingpong5000]

A very REAL war film, thanks to good old David Niven and a first-class British cast.

[@daviddavies2072]

I think one of the best war films made , not so sure on the colours, black a d white version est for me 👍🇬🇧

[@jade7249]

I really enjoyed this movie,especially watching David Niven he was one of the great actors of his time

[@EricLehner]

Thank you for colorized early movies! Opens them up to new audiences! Don't mind the technical critics.

[@richardwhite3924]

David Niven was a graduate of Sandhurst (England's equivalent of the U. S. West Point) and had served as an officer in the English army in India before becoming an actor.

[@dhowells8569]

His autobiography, The Moon’s a Balloon is worth reading.

It was Malta and not India.

​@@mikewinston8709No, he went to India.

[@mikewinston8709]

@@cboffard8350 Wrong. It was Valletta in Malta with the Highland Light Infantry (HLI). If it was India then where and with which regiment? Pre war he only served with the HLI. During the war his parent regiment was The Rifle Brigade.

[@kwgm8578]

Nice job on the color! I'm impressed with the AI if that's how it was done. Even the fire looks like it was filmed in Technicolor. I've always enjoyed these British films made during the war.

[@yomama8873]

Thank you 🤩🤩💖

A very brief glimpse of Trevor Howard as a ship's officer at 1.17.20. This was a year before one of his most famous roles in "Brief Encounter".

A time when the entirety of this beautiful nation came together... Butchers, Grocers, Salesmen and the odds and ends. Britain had the most powerful and extensive empire ever to exist - and where we went, we did good. Admittedly, there were some very dark blotches during our Colonial expansion but history proves that for every Man, Woman and Child killed a thousand were saved. We, the British, brought the light of Civilisation, Science and Democracy to the World... we may not have founded all of them but we carried the torch on. Now, right now!... in a Country slowly being invaded and infested, we need again, the Heroism shown in this Movie.

[@robertdore9592]

They should have left it alone, even the audio is a tad slower. If these new audiences lack the patience to sit through such a great script and cast led by the great David Niven; perhaps they don't deserve such great art.

[@SuperSetsquare]

Steady on old chap

[@Demun1649]

Peter Ustinov in a very early role.

[@cargumdeu]

The cut glass accent of the train announcer at Crewe was at least intelligible, so we havent progressed in that respect.

[@marianelaespinoza9695]

I understand that David Niven ended up as a lieutenant colonel. I’m sure he was an excellent officer with a common touch.

[@user-vy3op5nx8z]

Just as a note. Chelsea pensioners (the old chaps at the start) wear scarlet, or blue.

[@Bodneyblue]

Excellent movie..Have this on DVD..not in colour of course.

The Light Division... 1st on the field and last to leave.

[@davedavedave52]

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

Are those meant to Chelsea Pensioners at the start? In their scarlet uniform coats and tri-cirn hats? Pity you've put them in pink or pale grey-blue.

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

If they are at Crewe the coaches should be Crimson Lake under all that grime, not Malachite Green if travelling up from London.

I believe that Mr. Halloway may have been a bit too old for his part...James Donald, so many years prior to 'The Great Escape'...Those 'toy' Bren Gun carriers storming in to win the war...

[@Gracievision]

the colorization is all over the place with the soldiers uniforms from green to blue when i think the khaki worn by these men might have been more of a brown colour. the chelsea pensioners are seen wearing their red coats which the process had rendered grey, although on a daily basis they would be wearing their dark navy blue coats with the red being kept for ceremonial wear.

[@annconlon4468]

In the movie, one of the actors does a recitation of the poem, 'The Lynching of Black Maguire' Does anyone know the full poem, or who wrote it? I've been searching online for it but can't find it. Google just keeps suggesting 'The Lynching' by Claude McKay, which isn't what I'm looking for. If anyone could post a link for this poem, it would be most appreciated.

[@th2184_cma_.]

I find that the movie was really lacking in action.

[@alanjohnson6091]

They should have used younger actors. Niven looks right, kinda like he just graduated from high school. Everyone else looks like they are part of dad’s army.

[@erikkeever3504]

Yes, it is rather unfortunate that in 1944 the men who were age appropriate to portray drafted infantry were generally otherwise occupied.

[@bigrobnz]

Well they had Fraser from Dad"s Army in it.....

[@omarsdiscourses7143]

Great film, one Great error. Troops would have despatched within weeks in 40, 41?, without any significant training. Pure Hollywood, in the BBC, a fantastic character development with a clear propaganda agenda, much like most films of the day, but certainly below 500 on the list of best war films. Much higher for content, but not as a "war film"

[@SuperSetsquare]

You’re wrong

[@rayburridge2359]

The great Peter USTINOV is second to last in the long credits! The original Dr Who, before itself bombed. Is down as 'Billy HARTNELL. Great film.

In the Hospital grounds or are a they where blue without medals just ribbons. This is a more informal dress. Nowadays they can go out in civvies if they choose.
