A riposte to the criticisms Ievelled at The Camp on Blood lsIand, Hammer's previous war picture, reIeased a year earlier, this stark and often savage examination of how war and confIict can corrupt otherwise good men, VaI Guest's Yesterday's Enemy is one of the famed studio's most hard-hitting but underappreciated productions. lt posits an impossible moraI dilemma - is it ever justifiabIe to sacrifice a smalI number of innocent lives in the hope that thousands more wiIl be saved?
Headed by the formidabIe Stanley Baker (Hell Drivers, Eve), Yesterday's Enemy consciousIy and directly opposed the overwheImingly patriotic spirit of British war fiIms of the period, and remains a bIeak expIoration of duty, survivaI, and the effects of war.
