The War Game (1987) maintains that "In terms of raising morale, British war films were second to none for they spoke to cinema goers in a way they all understood. If this meant that they at times glorified war, it was to demonstrate that to lay down's one life for cause that one truly believed in, in this case freedom and democracy, could be, and was, ultimately justified."
This documentary says of the British World War II movie 49th Parallel (1941) that "It's main message was to pluck the conscience of the neutral USA to come to the aid of Britain [in the Second World War]."
