Went the Day Well? – Penelope Houston



Went the Day Well? is a cracking little movie made in 1942 about a sneaky gang of Nazis parachuting into rural England disguised as Brits, only for them to be ousted by the plucky locals. It’s a fascinating mixture of understated brutality and whimsy, and Houston’s book provides interesting historical context and some shot-by-shot analysis.
