Words For Battle (1941) ***

Narrated by Laurence Olivier, a patriotic documentary by Humphrey Jennings that concludes with excerpts from two rousing speeches by Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln.

We shall fight on the beaches,

we shall fight on the landing grounds,

we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,

we shall fight in the hills;

we shall never surrender

that these dead shall not have died in vain -

that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -

 that government of the people,

by the people,

for the people,

shall not perish from the earth
