REGENT THEATRE
A picturesque English village is the setting of "Went the Day Well?" exciting invasion drama from Ealing Studios, makers of "The Foreman Went to France" and "Next of Kin." Early one morning a party of khaki-clad invaders enter Bramley End in stolen British army lorries. They have dropped from troop carrying planes in ihe small hours, and pretend to be British in order to work unhindered. Their job is to wreck radio-location in preparation for a full scale invasion witnin a time limit of forty-eight hours. Leslie Banks appears as a German masquerading as an English squire — a brilliant Jekyll and Hyde study: the typical country gentleman and the ruthless traitor. Apart from the tense incidents of village suspicion and resistance to the -discovered foe, the battle scenes between invaders and defenders are among the most thrilling yet seen. They were filmed with men of the „ Gloucestershire Regiment, who willingly co-operat-ed by permission of the War Office. "Went the Dffy Well" screens for two days only at the Regent Theatre. Supports . include latest March of Time "Spotlight on Congress." _ .
