THE FILM DAILY, April 14, 1940. According to IMDB, "Released a few months after the invasion of Poland, and in the middle of the Blitzkrieg, this is likely the earliest Hollywood film to include the Second World War in its plot." If only this telling of "Waterloo Bridge" was as memorable as James Whale's 1931 masterpiece (and the invasion). For what it's worth, both Leigh and Taylor considered this their favorite film.
