There is no entry for this film in Wikipedia or imdb (“Total War in Britain” (1946) doesn’t sound like it). As you describe it, the free mixing of colour and black and white (as distinct from special cases, usually involving a clear formal articulation, such as The Wizard of Oz or the 1945 The Picture of Dorian Gray) would have been extraordinary for the time – its use in Resnais’s Night and Fog in 1955 provoked some discussion. I would like to see it.
