For Freedom

1940 · 1 hr 27 mins

Made in 1940, this stirringly patriotic film cleverly combined new scenes with genuine newsreel footage. A newsreel journalist is on hand when the Giant German battleship Graf Spee flees into Montevideo Harbour after a punishing encounter with the British warships Exeter and Ajax. As events unfold in a very unexpected way, he is there with his camera to capture the dramatic end to the encounter.

Directors: Castleton Knight, Maurice Elvey

Cast: Will Fyffe, Anthony Hulme, E. V. H. Emmett, Guy Middleton, Albert Lieven
