Give Us the Moon is a 1944 British comedy film directed and written by Val Guest and starring Vic Oliver, Margaret Lockwood and Peter Graves.
Made in 1943–44, the film is set in a future peacetime Britain, after the end of World War II.
The film is based on the 1939 novel The Elephant is White, written by Caryl Brahms and her Russian émigré writing partner S.J.
[1] The film opened at the New Gallery cinema in London on 31 July 1944, less than two months after D-Day and almost a year before the war would end in Europe.
The Times reviewer found it to be "a film which opens well [but] ends not with the bang of vigorous cinematic invention but the whimper of overworked dialogue".
