Its plot (concerned with a German commando unit sent into England to kidnap Winston Churchill) was fresh and innovative (although the plot is clearly reminiscent of Alberto Cavalcanti's wartime film Went the Day Well?, which itself was directly based on the 1942 Graham Greene short story The Lieutenant Died Last), and the characters had significantly more depth than in his earlier work.
Among his dozens of film roles were Walter Craig in Dead of Night (1945), the Church Warden in Went the Day Well? and Bob Cratchit in Scrooge (1951).
