The Way Ahead

The Way Ahead is a British Second World War drama released in 1944. It stars David Niven and Stanley Holloway and follows a group of civilians who are conscripted into the British Army to fight in North Africa. In the U.S., an edited version was released as The Immortal Battalion.

When they eventually get to North Africa, they are assigned to guard a small town. Perry appropriates a cafe as his headquarters, much to the disgust of the pacifist owner, Rispoli Peter Ustinov. When the Germans attack, Perry and his men fiercely defend their positions, aided by Rispoli. At one point, the Germans invite them to surrender, with the response Go to HellThe last scene shows them advancing in a counterattack. Instead of the film ending with the words The End, it concludes with the more uplifting The Beginning, an attempt to galvanize support for the final push in the war effort. ........
