This Above All is a 1942 American romance film directed by Anatole Litvak and starring Tyrone Power and Joan Fontaine as a couple from different social classes who fall in love in wartime England.

As a favor to Violet, Prudence agrees to go on a double date one night; she is paired with Clive Briggs (Tyrone Power), a moody mysterious soldier with a dark secret.

Finally, Clive tells Pru, indirectly, about his predicament and that he no longer wants to fight for the benefit of an English elite that oppresses and humiliates people of his class.

Pru makes an impassioned plea for all the good things that England represents, but when she wakes up the next morning, Clive has gone, leaving her a letter of goodbye.

Later, a one-armed rector, despite hearing that a suspected German spy with an injured wrist is loose, invites Clive in for tea.

A member of the upper class that Clive despises, the officer grants his request, accepting full responsibility for this unusual action.

Clive sets out for the meeting place, Charing Cross railway station, in the midst of a German air raid.

Bosley Crowther, critic for The New York Times, described it as "a taut and poignant war film" and "a very moving love story with a sensitive regard for tensile passions against a background of England at war", though he also felt that "The principal weakness of the picture is that it accentuates the original's [novel's] chief fault—that is, it skimps a rationalization of the leading character's profound change of mind.
