Synopsis:

When Celia Crowson is called up for war service, she hopes for a glamor job in one of the services, but as a single girl, she is directed into a factory making aircraft parts. Here she meets other girls for all different walks of life, and begins a relationship with a young airman.This one of the best films of it's type. Filmed during the war, it shows what life was like in a real war factory. Patricia Roc has the lead role, and she is ably supported by Eric Portman, Megs Jenkins, and Anne Crawford.

MILLIONS LIKE US is a fundamentally honest dramatisation of the British 'home front' during World War II. Patricia Roc plays a worker in a defense plant who lives in an all-female rooming house. Shy and sheltered, Roc loses some of her inhibitions when she falls in love with an airman (Gordon Jackson). After they marry, he is killed in battle. Roc's coworkers and friends rally round her, giving her the strength to persevere.
