Dangerous Moonlight

Dangerous Moonlight (U.S. title: Suicide Squadron) is a 1941 British film directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and starring Anton Walbrook.

In England, Radecki performs a public concert and reveals that he has returned to fight, volunteering to fly as a pilot in a Polish squadron, although Carole fears that he will be killed.

[5] Released as Dangerous Moonlight and distributed by RKO Radio British, the film was a box-office success in the UK, although contemporary reviews were generally unfavourable.

The New York Times review described the film as principally "a sentimental fable in which the excellent Anton Walbrook, so eloquent as the Hutterite leader in The Invaders, and Sally Gray make a listless and anemic pair of lovers.

[7] Among modern appraisals, Leonard Maltin has commented that Dangerous Moonlight is an "intelligently presented account of concert pianist who becomes a member of a British fighter squadron during WW2; musical interludes (including Richard Addinsell's well-known Warsaw Concerto) well handled.
