Movie Reviews of Went the Day Well?
Movie Review: Stirring wartime tribute to the English spirit
Summary: 5 Stars
You might call "Went the Day Well?" a precursor to "The Eagle Has Landed," for both films involve the clandestine wartime takeover of a rural English village by Nazis who hold the villagers hostage in the local church. Unfortunately, most filmgoers have never heard of "Day." It cost a tiny fraction of "Eagle" and contains no international stars (Leslie Banks is its biggest name), but it's ten times more moving, more suspenseful, and more genuinely atmospheric, and its characters -- young and old, upper class to yeoman to poacher, and particularly its women, many of them quietly heroic -- are far more vivid and memorable.
Summary of Went the Day Well?
Of all the propaganda films produced by Britain during the war, no motion picture was as shattering as this fictional - yet frighteningly real - story of heroes, traitors and graphic homeland terror. In the spring of 1942, the quaint rural village of Bramley End is occupied by a German platoon expertly disguised as friendly British troops. In the days that follow, the men, women and children of the isolated town must single-handedly outsmart and destroy the Nazi force before their invasion can spread to the rest of an unsuspecting nation. Leslie Banks, Thora Hird, Mervyn Johns and Basil Sydney star in this chilling thriller adapted from a short story by Graham Greene and produced by the legendary Ealing Studios that would later inspire both THE EAGLE HAS LANDED and RED DAWN. Rarely seen in America - where it received limited release under the title 48 HOURS - it remains as explicit and shocking a movie experience today as it was to wartime audiences more than 60 years ago.Action & Adventure DVD Video
