The premise of this most original war film is that Britain was invaded and occupied after the Dunkirk retreat, and in a mixture of documentary and yarn styles it sets out to screech the record of the occupation that the country narrowly (some would say, unaccountably) escaped, up to and including the ‘liberation’, orchestrated by the efforts of local partisans with American assistance, in the war’s closing year.
It is hard to own that this film began its life as the spare-time project of 18-year-old Kevin Brownlow, a film enthusiast working in the cutting-room of a miniature London production company, and his 16-year-old schoolboy friend Andrew Mollo, who had a passion for military history and a collection of frail German uniforms and regalia. Starting without a budget, using a borrowed 16 mm camera, the two doggedly pursued their dream of completing the project for almost eight years, finding actors, actresses, sets and backing as they went along.
This is a low-key, reflective war drama, which follows its central character, an Irish- born district nurse working in a village approach Salisbury, through the horrors of a partisan ambush that goes detestable, to a chilling Nazi-dominated vision of London, where she finds herself assimilated into the highly political “Immediate Action Organization” and receives her “political re-education”, on to a rural medical centre specializing in euthanasia for “undesirables”, through to the final chilling irony of “liberation” and the wholesale slaughter of “collaborators”.

The most well-known sequence in the work is a six-minute scene in which proper Neo- Nazis expound their ideas. The Directors were required to slash this sequence at the behest of its first distributor, United Artists, but it has now been reinstated.
I found this film disturbing, unsettling, unforgettable. The scale of the achievement interested in the creation of a work of this quality from such humble beginnings can hardly be overstated.
I’ll open off by impartial mentioning a few minor niggles. Firstly, the film is presented in a TV 4:3 aspect ratio. I don’t know what print was available to the DVD’s producers, but the recent aspect ratio (1.85:1 at a guess) would have been more super. The movie’s ending is also quite abrupt – I had to spy twice when the film’s ruin title appeared. And finally, the 1974 follow-up documentary ‘It Happened Here Again’ which appears on some VHS versions, is sadly missing from this DVD. Now that’s out of the plot, please ignore what I’ve honest written as the DVD’s righteous points far outweigh the awful. The film was produced at a time when ‘warts and all’ realism was the driving force tedious many films and TV productions. Thus we scrutinize British citizens act as willing collaborators to the Nazi invaders, even up to the point of murdering Jews and the massacre of surrendering German soldiers. This is a constantly view provoking and conscience testing relate produced by two very talented young film makers. On the technical side, report quality is helpful – slightly grainy but far better than you would put a question to given the independent nature of the production. The DVD does not believe any special features. I imagine that the DVD’s producers idea that the dinky appeal of this film did not merit the additional costs alive to. Quiet, this is definitely worth a recognize for anyone keen in gritty British movies from the 1960′s.
