Jim P There are a lot of war movies around. Some of them tell unusual stories. This one looks at the work of the French Resistance in WW2. Based on true stories, it starts slowly, but there's plenty of suspense towards the end. Worth a look if you like unusual war stories. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Audience Member One of the best black and white films I've ever seen. This woman is amazing and is a true hero. This story of her time as a British agent during the second world war is an amazing and moving tale. For once we have a story from the moviemakers that is true to life. Perhaps some in Hollywood today can learn something from this. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Remarkable personal story from the war, well acted with plenty of drama and feeling.
