The Shipbuilders review
"Clive Brook headlines this rather dry wartime flagwaver, but Morland Graham probably bags mores screen time as a modest riveter whose unwavering faith in the shipbuilding industry helps him overcome numerous domestic difficulties. The first two-thirds of the film feels like filler for the final third, which rams home the importance of shipbuilding to national defence with stern speeches from Brook and a ceaseless wave of montage sequences...."
