Bill Nighy, Gemma Arterton, and Sam Claflin in Their Finest (2016)
With London emptied of its men now fighting at the Front, Catrin Cole is hired by the British Ministry of Information as a scriptwriter charged with bringing "a woman's touch" to morale-boosting propaganda films. Her natural flair quickly gets her noticed by movie producer Buckley whose path would never have crossed hers in peacetime.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      When asked what his reactions were to being cast as Ambrose Hilliard, Bill Nighy said: "They were looking for someone to play a chronically self-absorbed actor in his declining years, and they thought of me, which is something that's easier to process on some mornings rather than others."
    • Goofs
      When Catrin Cole exits an Underground Station an Air Raid is starting and Air Raid Sirens are sounding; however they are not broadcasting the rising and falling note of the "Air Attack Warning", but the constant high pitched note of the "All Clear" which was / would be sounded after danger had passed.
    • Quotes
      • Tom Buckley: It's never for anything. Why do you think that people like films? It's because stories are structured; have a shape, a purpose, a meaning; and when things gone bad they're still a part of a plan; there's a point to them. Unlike life.
