Richard Attenborough 's
_ __ adaptation of Joan Littlewood and Charles Chilton 's anti-war stage play is the first of two First World War films being shown tonight. It features contemporary songs and a cast that reads like a roll-call of top British actors. The seaside, August 1914: as the Smith family and thousands of other Britons enjoy their summer holidays, the leaders of the European nations play tragic games taking their countries into "the war to end all wars".
