Description
A riposte to the criticisms levelled at The Camp on Blood Island, Hammer's previous war picture, released a year earlier, this stark and often savage examination of how war and conflict can corrupt otherwise good men, Val Guest's Yesterday's Enemy is one of the famed studio's most hard-hitting but underappreciated productions. It posits an impossible moral dilemma - is it ever justifiable to sacrifice a small number of innocent lives in the hope that thousands more will be saved?Headed by the formidable Stanley Baker (Hell Drivers, Eve), Yesterday's Enemy consciously and directly opposed the overwhelmingly patriotic spirit of British war films of the period, and remains a bleak exploration of duty, survival, and the effects of war.High Definition remasterOriginal mono audioTwo presentations of the film: the uncensored UK theatrical version, and the US theatrical version with toned-down dialogueThe Guardian Interview with Val Guest (2005, 46 mins): archival audio recording of the celebrated filmmaker in conversation with Jonathan Rigby at London's National Film TheatreTotal War: Inside 'Yesterday's Enemy' (2018, 27 mins): documentary written and directed by Hammer expert Marcus Hearn, narrated by Claire Louise Amias, and featuring film historians Alan Barnes and Jonathan RigbyHammer's Women: Edwina Carroll (2018, 8 mins): critic and author Becky Booth on the popular Burmese-born actressStephen Laws Introduces 'Yesterday's Enemy' (2018, 9 mins): appreciation by the acclaimed horror authorNew Territory (2018, 13 mins): analysis of the film by British cinema expert Steve ChibnallFrontline Dispatches (2018, 8 mins): second assistant director Hugh Harlow and props chargehand Peter Allchorne recall their time working on the filmOriginal theatrical trailerImage gallery: promotional photography and publicity materialNew and improved English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing
