    When Spies Knock At Your Door

    Well, you can't not answer. That would be far too rude, especially for sisters Martita Hunt and Mary Clare, even if you've just found a dead German parachutist in your front garden.

    It's a propaganda short produced and directed by Brian Desmond Hunt, made during the period after Dunkirk. People thought a German invasion was imminent. How should two ladies deal with such a matter? A kindly British fellow explains while the two ladies offer him a nice cups and some toast.

    Clearly, the Germans never stood a chance.

    • Trivia
      Some officials in the War Office considered the film too frightening, but its premise - the enemy in the heart of a docile English village - was later reused in the most famous 'invasion' film of the war, Ealing's Quarante-huit heures (1942).
    • Quotes

      The Local Defence Volunteer: The front line's in every home these days.

      Edith: To think I wanted to stay in bed - I wouldn't have missed this for the world!
