now i be a sucker for what if story and and what good to have german occupy an english village during the war . what we have in this gem of a film be a great story and we see the villager pull together and overcome the foe in heroic fashion . we be not spar the horror of war and i think particularly of the scene when the telephone operator have summon the courage to kill her german captor be kill try to contact someone for help and you do not see anything but because of that it be all the more powerful . you be on the edge of your seat hop the egg with the message on will get through . we see a lady driving in her car and singing to herself and we then cut to the home guard be mow down on the road and their body clear just a the woman drive round the corner . the two scene together make for a powerful contrast . bloody good stuff . the pace continue through the film at such a rate that you do find yourself on the edge of the seat and the acting be great and though some may find the clipped english accent a little annoying and i like the fact that there be a number of different accent from cockney to yorkshire all make the in it together message more powerful . when the villager start to fight back we get to see some hero and none more so than the lady at the manor house who to save the child throw herself onto a grenade and i remember see this scene for the first time and be very move by it and and every time i watch it again it have the same effect . a a piece of propaganda it must have work like a dream a a film it be well make and act and what more could you want . even more impressive be that it have age very little .
