- Synopsis:
"You Must Remember This" is a musical journey through wartime Britain. Remembering songs from the radio, from dance bands and music halls, from the popular films of the period and from ENSA tours that took British entertainers to the troops, it aims to recapture the spirit of the World War II years through their music and songs. This film includes information about the legendary entertainers of the era told through a subtitled narrative, in the style of the BBC's "The Rock 'n' Roll Years", along with extracts from the songs they made famous as well as news archive footage. These songs, moving and inspiring in equal measure, allow a glimpse into a world at war and the heroic effort of the British people that eventually brought victory and peace.
