Monthly Film Bulletin
Captain Reed directs his superb cast headed by Colonel Niven in a film of humour and integrity.

Film4
Despite a framework which stresses regimental traditions and military valour, the film's celebration of the ordinary man as soldier leaves a residue of radicalism.

New York Times
Rating: B- --
A rousing flag-waving war drama about the British Army, that was shot during the war and grew out of being a training film.

Product Description:
Boasting a script by Eric Ambler and Peter Ustinov, THE WAY AHEAD is a rousing version of a familiar WWII genre: An officer must hammer a small group of disparate characters into an effective fighting unit as quickly as possible. David Niven stars as tough-minded Lieutenant Jim Perry, putting a reluctant and sometimes comically inept group of raw recruits through fantastically realistic basic-training exercises. When the troops hit the beaches of North Africa, they finally begin to understand the purpose behind their training.
