Went the Day Well?
Available on Prime Video, STUDIOCANAL Presents, ITVX
Based on the story by Graham Greene, Went the Day Well? is a classic piece of propagandist entertainment, a warning to British citizens to remain ever alert for the arrival of the enemy. A rare foray into darker material by Ealing Studios, Alberto Cavalcanti’s (Nicholas Nickleby, Dead of Night [1945]) film tells the story of a quiet English village which has been infiltrated by German soldiers masquerading as British troops, leaving the plucky villagers to uncover the plot and fight back.
