Went The Day Well? | 1942
During WWII, a small English village is taken over by German fifth columnists, in this excellent, low key propaganda piece, from a Graham Greene story, which still packs a punch.
The fictitious village of 'Bramley End' is Turville, off the B482 about five miles west of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire.
The village church is St Mary the Virgin, which was also the scene of the haunted wedding episode in the classic 1945 British chiller Dead of Night (and was also ‘St Barnabas’ in TV sitcom The Vicar of Dibley)
Pretty much unchanged to this day, the village is also seen in 2009’s Oscar-nominated An Education, and is overlooked by the windmill from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
