About The Next of Kin
Lots of slogans such as "Be like Dad, Keep Mum" and "Keep it under your Hat" are visible on the walls in various scenes to reinforce the plot of this British wartime movie illustrating how gossipy talk can result in unknowingly giving valuable information to Nazi spies.
Directed by Thorold Dickinson, The Next of Kin leans on a strong ensemble — Mervyn Johns, Nova Pilbeam, Reginald Tate — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1942.
