In Which We Serve (1943)

Well-meaning movie following the flashbacks of several British seamen as they cling to a liferaft during World War II.

Despite a few touching moments, I was bored through the bulk of the movie. The lives of the sailors are extremely ordinary -- and while that's kind of refreshing, it doesn't make for a very interesting story. I also had a heckuva time telling several of them apart, especially during the early scenes.

Also, the scenes in which the men get wounded are laughable. During an early sequence when their ship gets hit (and eventually sunk), the men sway and every single one comes up with a bloody nose. When men are shot, there's a quiet wound clutch with thrown-back head before a slump over. Every time.

Watchable, if unmemorable.
