    Those plucky Brits!

    "Forever and a Day" is a most unusual film project. In order to bolster the war effort, a huge group of Hollywood stars* agreed to work on this project without pay. The same for the 19 writers and seven directors involved...they worked without pay and it was to help the war effort. It truly is an impressive effort and although it was made by RKO Studio, it had the cooperation of the other Hollywood studios in loaning folks to the project.

    Kent Smith plays an American who has come to London during the Blitz in order to sell a home his family has owned the place for generations. However, he comes off as a bit of a smug jerk and so the lady living there, a distant relation, tells him all about the history of the home and its occupants.

    This film is intended to show the folks in the States just how swell our British allies are as well as the long sense of history about the country. This is shown through vignettes showing sacrifice and patriotism...starting with the Battle of Trefalger to WWII.

    Overall, this is a surprisingly well made film. I say surprisingly because sometimes when you assemble many directors, the result is a total mess (such as "Casino Royale" from 1967, which had six credited directors). This one, however, is coherent and enjoyable...and very well made.

    *Most of the stars in the film are supporting actors and actresses. However, a few A-list actors such as Ray Milland, Charles Laughton, Merle Oberon and Herbert Marshall appear in the movie. Additionally, a few of the actors are a bit of a surprise, such as Buster Keaton! Many, if not most, of the actors are Brits living and working in Hollywood.

    Huge Cast Makes This One A Winner

    In 1943, while the War still raged, an incredible assortment of British performers living in Hollywood got together to make a morale booster of a movie to top all the others. Joining in the production was a first class collection of producers, directors & writers. Although seldom viewed now, FOREVER AND A DAY is a wonderful film, absolutely not to be missed.

    The story is of 140 years in the life of a London house, right up to the Blitz, and of the two families - sometimes feuding, sometimes merging - that called it home. Its endurance through history's onslaughts becomes a symbol of the British Nation's resolve to fight anything Hitler could throw against them.

    A partial listing of the cast illustrates its richness: Claude Rains, Ida Lupino, Merle Oberon, Ray Milland, Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, Dame May Whitty, Dame Gladys Cooper, Dame Anna Neagle, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Sir C. Aubrey Smith & Buster Keaton. Together, with many others, they combine to serve up cracking good entertainment.

    Exactly as you'd expect from a charity film.

    This is the first charity fundraiser film. All the stars, directors and writers offered their services for free with all profits from the box office going to charity. Although such a project, written by 'a committee' isn't going to produce an innovative classic, this isn't too bad. These were after all, top stars, top directors and top writers with their reputations to preserve so this would have to be a classy affair. Jessie Matthews for example only spent three days on this but because this was a prestigious affair and for a very worthy cause, she and everyone else put 100% effort into it.

    The theme is: there'll always be an England so expect lots of blitz spirit, stiff upper lips and chirpy hat-doffing cockneys. It's told through the history of an old London house so is a perfect opportunity for virtually every English star to do a turn playing the sort of roles which made them famous. Everyone delivers the exact performance the audience would expect. C Aubrey Smith for example plays a compilation of every role he's ever played.

    Each story can stand on their own as separate stories but they're nicely blended together. The Victor Saville section is a sweet little comic interlude which is characteristically very Victor Saville. He has his former star, Jessie Matthews alongside Charles Laughton both raising a little chuckle. We're more used to seeing Jessie Matthews a decade younger in her Gaumont days but she still looks stunning.

    Getting all these English actors, directors and writers to put this together for free was a lovely idea. The resulting film is historically interesting but it's not a piece of entertainment. Unlike some other propaganda films, this one doesn't offer anything particular to a modern audience other than as a curiosity.

    Different than the usual variety shows

    Boasting a cast of 78 movie stars, performers from every corner banded together for the troops in Forever and a Day, another "variety show" movie that was popular during WWII. Join Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Arthur Treacher, Victor McLaglen, Herbert Marshall, C. Aubrey Smith, Buster Keaton, Gene Lockhart, Reginald Owen, Halliwell Hobbs, Charles Laughton, Elsa Lanchester, Nigel Bruce, Una O'Connor, Richard Hayden, Brian Aherne, Claude Rains, Ray Milland, Edward Everett Horton, Patric Knowles, June Duprez, Cecil Kellaway Ida Lupino, Eric Blore, Merle Oberon, Queenie Leopard, Jessie Matthews, Gladys Cooper, Robert Cummings, Donald Crisp as they act out a script contributed to by 22 writers, and directed and produced by seven skilled men.

    In one of his earlier films, Kent Smith stars as a young man interested in the history of an old British house. Told through vignettes, the house's owners and ancestors are explained. This has an entirely different feel than the usual "variety show" movies from the time period. There isn't song after dance after skit; instead, it's dramatic British scene after mildly comical British scene after neutral British scene. Unless you can keep up with the different accents and class distinctions and tongue-in-cheek about modern conveniences like bathtubs and motor cars, you probably won't like this one. It is fun to see Charles Laughton playing a butler and Brian Aherne trying out for Cary Grant's part in None But the Lonely Heart, though.

    Great Wartime Tribute

    This remarkable film was largely the brainchild of Sir Cedric Hardwicke, who had the idea that British ex-patriates in Hollywood donate their services to make a stirring film with a strong nationalistic theme. He rounded up a lot of potential contributors including actors and directors and writers, but by the time he found a home for this at RKO, some of them like Cary Grant and Ronald Colman and Alfred Hitchcock were no longer available. Some Americans and Canadians pitched in their services and the result is the very entertaining tale of two distant cousins and and a house that survives into the blitz told in flashbacks as London is bombed. Hardwicke and Buster Keaton steal the show as two bumbling plumbers, but there are excellent contributions by Sir C. Aubrey Smith, Dame May Witty, Ida Lupino, Charles Laughton, Roland Young, Dame Gladys Cooper and others. Some material was deleted, perhaps because of the length and leisurely pace of the story-telling. For those who love Downton Abbey and Upstairs, Downstairs, this will appeal. It was a miracle it got made. Most of the contributors gave their time for the war effort. Worth a look.

      Alfred Hitchcock prepared the sequence involving Ida Lupino, and was to have directed it; scheduling prevented him, and it was directed by René Clair, who used Hitchcock's script.

      [Opening narration]

      Narrator: St. Paul's Cathedral, London. That's right! Happily still standing after so much that has taken place in recent years. And to many of us, it's a symbol of something that will surely survive any other trials that may yet be in store. This may be the reason why a number of people banded themselves together to make this picture possible.

      [Screen fills with the names of the cast]

      Narrator: In the order of their appearance, these are the players who took part. Many others offered their services, but did not eventually appear through no fault of their own. The main point was the eagerness of everyone to take part in a job of real teamwork. Of course it takes more than actors to make a picture. And we were fortunate in being able to make use of many offers of assistance, among them these writers:

      [21 writers' names appear]

      Narrator: Also these directors and producers contributed their time and skills:

      Narrator: We have called the picture:

      [Title appears]

      Narrator: "Forever and a Day" was finally made possible only through the cordial cooperation of all the Hollywood studios and the technical branches of the industry. May we hope that this truly cooperative effort may symbolize the common effort of ourselves and our allies to make secure the ideals for which this picture stands.
