	Went The Day Well? (1942) DVD A masterpiece of wartime film making this 1942 film directed by Alberto Cavalcanti packs as many punches now as it did when it was first shown. The film, based on a story by Grahem Green, is of a village infiltrated by German parachutists disguised as British soldiers and the slow discovery of the sinister truth. (My No.1 favourite wartime film - Ian) DVD region 2, Cert. PG, B&W, aprox 88 min. More Information Price: £8.99


	The Way Ahead - DVD Carol Reed's semi-documentary feature film was one of many flag-waving movies intended to bolster morale during World War Two but The Way Ahead's compassion and realism ensures its place in cinema history. 110 min, DVD Region 2, Cert U More Information Price: £10.99
