   A brilliant film - sorely neglected, it seems. Some fantastic acting from some familiar British character actors (including Leslie Banks, David Farrar), a very sharp, sly and often tense script based on a Graham Greene short story, and some superb night-time cinematography make a classic in my book. For a film from 1942 it's incredibly powerful and pulls no punches - the on screen deaths of assorted characters who attempt to stand up to the German invasion of the village is still powerful today, and impressively unsentimental. Highly recommended. 12 years 8 months ago

   It takes a little while to get going but once it does it's quite a quirky thriller. The Germans are genuinely intimidating and not the cartoon villains you might expect and the plucky villagers under siege make an entertaining ensemble. 10 years 6 months ago

   dombrewer - Completely agreed. This is an incredible movie, and one that deserves far more attention. 12 years 6 months ago
