“A prescient masterpiece! A conspiracy thriller, a black-comic nightmare, and a surrealist masterpiece!” The Guardian

Made at the height of the World War II invasion scare in England, Went the Day Well? concerns the infiltration of an unsuspecting British village by sixty German paratroopers. “Cavalcanti was Britain's only real noir specialist. . . . This wartime propaganda film, written by Graham Greene, is rather like a Hitchcock script suddenly turned over to Buñuel to direct, full of beauty, black humor, and sudden savagery. An important film, still insufficiently known and appreciated” (William K. Everson). Don't miss this new restoration by StudioCanal and the BFI, which recently received rave reviews upon its rerelease in New York.
