FREEDOM RADIO is another British propaganda movie of the Second World War, but at least it remembers to be entertaining. This time around the setting is Nazi Germany, where a number of good-hearted people become disillusioned by the rise of the Nazi party and their heavy handed ways, so they set up pirate radio broadcasts in order to combat the endless propaganda of the Nazi state. It's a little odd to see familiar British character actors like Raymond Huntley and Bernard Miles playing Germans without a hint of an accent, but the story feels fresher and more original than most and the characters are sympathetic. Things build to an appropriately moving climax.
