Odette Sanson is recruited by British Intelligence to spy in occupied France during World War Two.
Based on a real case. The film conveys the real danger in the French resistance of capture at any moment and the horror if you were. The prison and camp scenes are very well done too.
Anna Neagle carries the movie almost single handed. Everyone else does their fill-in character parts very well but she is the star. Despite some dodgy French accents Trevor Howard and Peter Ustinov are the best of the rest.
It would have been nice to see more of her secret service training.
