A curious movie, weird and yet fascinating at the same time. Michael Powell's fingerprints are all over it but it's the splicing together of real events with the story that is, for me, just weird... UK Dvd Gallery added.

Using a combination of documentary footage and well-known actors such as Ralph Richardson and Merle Oberon, it depicts a Germany under the grip of mass-hysteria led by
Hitler. This is contrasted to the rural peace of England and the dignity of its inhabitants. Made in two weeks with a minute budget,
this is an excellent example of war-time film-making. ~ BACK COVER
2ND WORLD WAR MOVIE
1939, 73 MINS, BW, UK
Starring: Ralph Richardson as Wing Commander Richardson, Merle Oberon as Mrs Richardson, June Duprez as June, Brian Worth as
Bobby
Directors: Adrien Brunel, Brian Desmond Hurst, Michael Powell
I'm not sure the leads are right but their performance only add to the curiosity value. Good an actor as Richardson was, I don't think it entirely works here as the lead. And Oberon as his wife is far too exotic. I think at the time she was still married to the film's producer, Korda.
