It Happened Here (1963)
Director: Kevin Brownlow, Andrew Mollo
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
With an immense reputation as a doggedly meticulous historical fantasy, Brownlow/Mollo's low-budget film of a Nazi invasion of Britain now seems more than ever like a Borges newsreel: though the event never happened, a film of it perhaps exists from which only these scraps of footage survive. A genuinely eccentric curio which names but cannot express its fears or desires.Author:
