Collection of feature films inspired by the Great War. In 'I Was a
Spy' (1933), Martha Cnockhaert (Madeleine Carroll) works as a spy
in a German hospital, acting for the allies. Aided by orderly
Stephan (Herbert Marshall), Martha plots to blow up a German
ammunition dump. When Martha accompanies a German Commandant to
Brussels, a change in the Kaiser's movements inadvertently reveals
Martha's true purpose. '1914 All Out' (1987) is a made-for-TV drama
set during World War I in a quiet Yorkshire village. While the
locals are enjoying a Bank Holiday cricket match, their fun is cut
short when war breaks out and the men go off to fight for their
country. Set in the Scottish Orkney Islands during the First World
War, 'The Spy In Black' (1939) tells the story of three German
spies plotting to sink the British fleet. When U-Boat Captain Hardt
(Conrad Veidt) makes contact with his beautiful co-conspirator
(Valerie Hobson), he falls in love with her, but she is already
having an affair with the third spy in their group, Royal Navy
traitor Lieutenant Ashington (Sebastian Shaw).

Documentary-style war feature. The story compares wartime Germany,
under the domination of a fanatical madman, with the dignified calm
of rural England and follows Wing Commander Richardson (Ralph
Richardson) as he engages in battles in the skies while his wife
(Merle Oberon) waits patiently for his return.

Classic British adventure story of Harry Feversham (John Clements),
a British officer, who resigns his commission on the eve of a
battle in the Sudan. He is then given four white feathers by his
friends and fiancée as a symbol of cowardice. Determined to win
back his honour, Feversham exposes himself to hardship while
disguised as a Sudanese in an attempt to aid his comrades. Directed
by Zoltan Korda, this was the fourth film, but first sound version,
of the tale.
