Dec 30th
Dangerous Moonlight**
GB 1941. RKO. 98m. bw

A Warsaw concert pianist joins the RAF, in spite of the best efforts from friends who want to preserve his talent.
Good, well measured war melodrama, with the Warsaw Concerto at its centre becoming more famous than the film, which is nonetheless well made and acted, and the propaganda message also fits in perfectly (and unobtrusively) with the tone of the story.
