“As films actually made during WWII go, this one has the unique distinction of being about the prospect of a British town actually being controlled by the Nazis. Basil Sydney portrays the German Major charged with bringing the villagers to heel in advance of the invasion - and with the help of a local collaborator sets about his task with ruthless efficiency. What makes this all the more fascinating a watch, is that all the characters - including David Farrar and Leslie Banks - are British - there are no German imports into this taut adaptation of Graham Greene's story.”
