Dangerous Moonlight
Dangerous Moonlight (U.S. title: Suicide Squadron) is a 1941 British film directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and starring Anton Walbrook. The film is perhaps best known for its score, written by Richard Addinsell and orchestrated by Roy Douglas, that includes the Warsaw Concerto. The gowns in the film were designed by Cecil Beaton.
Dangerous Moonlight's love-story plot, told mainly in flashbacks, involves the fictional composer of the Warsaw Concerto, a Polish piano virtuoso and shellshocked fighter pilot, who meets an American war correspondent in Warsaw and later returns from the United States to join the RAF in England in the war against the Germans, who have occupied Poland.
During the German invasion of Poland, Polish airman and piano virtuoso Stefan Radecki meets American reporter Carole Peters. He volunteers to fly a suicide mission but is not selected. Radecki is among the last to escape Warsaw and months later, in New York, he and Carole reunite and marry.
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. His final mission ends in self-sacrifice when he crashes into a German aircraft. He is badly injured in the crash and suffers from amnesia.
Later, Radecki is in a London hospital recovering from his injuries. He begins to remember his past, recalling composing the Warsaw Concerto and first meeting his wife. Sitting at the piano, Radecki sees Carole and says, "Carole, it's not safe to go out with you when the moon is so bright," repeating the first words that he had ever spoken to her.
Dangerous Moonlight was produced by the British unit of RKO, which financed it.
Although Anton Walbrook was an accomplished amateur pianist, the soundtrack music was played by professional pianist Louis Kentner, who was initially uncredited. Kentner believed that playing film music would not help his career, but he changed his mind upon seeing the film's success.
Aerial scenes were filmed in actual combat and feature the No 74 Squadron (squadron lettering "ZP") Supermarine Spitfire fighters that flew in the Battle of Britain.
