Secret Flight (1946)
5/10
Slightly tedious history lesson

Warning: Spoilers
SCHOOL FOR SECRETS is a character drama exploring the loves and lives of a group of British boffins who were responsible for developing cutting edge radar technology to turn the tide against German bombers in WW2. It's not a particularly exciting movie, although there are a few scenes of aerial combat and training dotted throughout that I suppose would have been the equivalent of similar moments in TOP GUN back in the day. The film is genuinely worth a watch if you don't expect much, and the presence of numerous cast members like Richard Attenborough, Ralph Richardson, David Tomlinson, and Raymond Huntley (in his swimming trunks, no less!) eases the slight air of tedium that hangs over the proceedings.
