Next of Kin Series: Thorold Dickinson’s World of Cinema Director: Thorold Dickinson, Country: United Kingdom, Release: 1942, Runtime: 102 Dickinson made several informational shorts during the war, and this 1942 feature, an illustration of the wartime watchwords “Careless Talk Costs Lives,” is a superior if not almost singular example of the directives of propaganda resulting in art. Dickinson traces a casually dropped military secret from one character to another, in an inventive and strangely gripping realization of his central theme. The result is one of the most interesting films to emerge from the war years in England, which deserves to stand alongside Went the Day Well?, In Which We Serve and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. “It is not propaganda, in the current sense of the word,” said Dickinson, “for that word has come to have a debased meaning; it now means persuasion by means of revealing much but not all of the truth. This film quite uncompromisingly reveals every point for and against its purpose.”
