This documentary about "Operation Acrobat," detailing the Allied invasion of North Africa, features narration from Leo Genn and Burgess Meredith. The film relies entirely on actual footage—no interviews are included—and presents the initial progress of the operation before showing a German counteroffensive and the subsequent advance toward Tunis. Released in conjunction by Britain and America, it’s surprisingly open for a production from 1944, unafraid to show that this campaign involved considerable risk and difficulties. The visuals are striking; clearly, military film crews had developed significant skill in recording wartime scenes, even during moments of triumph, and their work here remains engaging throughout the 75-minute running time. Bernard Miles also delivers a moving vocal performance as an unnamed soldier who appears periodically, bringing a sense of human connection to the story. I appreciate that there are no quoted statements, but this approach can occasionally make the film feel somewhat dry. Nevertheless, it’s quite good as a record of events unfolding in real-time.
