Rating: B --
The rousing war drama managed to be a better propaganda film than most such films.

Rating: B+ --
The major asset of Michael Powell's expectedly propagandistic British film, which was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar (under the title The Invaders) is its accomplished ensemble, including Olivier and Eric Porter.

Rating: 3/5 --
Syrupy political sentiments aside, 49th Parallel is still a worth a look as a niftily crafted action-adventure of the period.
