The Germans Will March to Our Tune

I have no idea who Charles Ridley was, but the crediting of animation to Len Lye makes this one worth seeing -- he had done an abstract animation piece a few years earlier to the hit song from the West End hit, ME AND MY GIRL, in which cockney Lupino Lane shows the House of Lords how to loosen up.

This piece, as it consists, is made of clips from Riefenstahl's TRIUMPH OF THE WILL, edited to match the tune. Storm troopers march forward in step, then the film is reversed to make them march back; Hitler salutes and takes it back at the pleasure of the editor.

I doubt if anyone thought it would be that easy.
