this be a pretty well do piece of english wartime film and make in 1942 and clearly intend to buck up the english a they face the possibility of a german invasion . in the story and the small village of bramley end be occupy by german paratrooper and who infiltrate the village disguise a english troop and along with the help of a local quisling name oliver wilsford and play by mervyn john . see with the benefit of hindsight and the story be rather far fetch and since there really be no serious threat of a german invasion after 1940 and but of course those make the movie ( and those watch it ) do not have the benefit of hindsight and and so it have to be see for what it be represent a well do bit of movie make encourage the english to fight back in case it do happen . in bramley end and a pretty good ( and ultimately successful ) fight be put up once the local get over their shock and and the fight involve men and woman and child while soldier and civilian alike . the german ( a expect ) be portray a ruthless ( although and give the context and i think they might have be portray even bad than they be . ) although it clearly be propaganda to an extent and the movie do not have what i would consider to be a typical propaganda feel to it and which i appreciate and and which make it interest rather than date even today . speak from a north american perspective and i confess that at time i have a bit of trouble follow the accent and but the flow of the story be clear enough in spite of this and and i think oliver ultimate fate at the hand of nora ( valerie taylor ) represent poetic justice . the movie open and close with a narration which be set in the post war era and and be perhaps the only thing that seem really out of place today and with reference to hitler get what be come to him ( i do not think he really do ) and speaking of the invasion that finally come ( which it do not . ) aside from that and though and i find this movie quite enjoyable . positive .
