78. Richard's on-screen debut was memorable, if uncredited. In which Noel Coward masterwork did he portray a frightened young seaman aboard a destroyer?
From Quiz Love the Attenboroughs
Answer:
In Which We Serve
To call "In Which We Serve" (1942) Noel Coward's masterwork is actually something of an understatement, as he starred in, directed, produced, wrote and wrote the music (in whole or in part) for this "story of a ship", loosely based on the experiences of Lord Louis Mountbatten during World War II. One of the memorable sequences is the less than heroic reaction of one young man (played by Richard Attenborough) to HMS Torrin's first action, and his subsequent desire to redeem himself.
Richard found himself cast in a similar role in "Morning Departure" (aka "Operation Disaster")(1950), but this time on a submarine. He was a pilot newly arrived in Heaven in "A Matter of Life and Death" (aka "Stairway to Heaven") (1946) and the despicable young gangster, Pinkie Brown, in "Brighton Rock" (1948).
