Carve Her Name with Pride (1958 Lewis Gilbert & co-scr)

Virginia McKenna enacts Violette Szabo in the Vernon Harris / Gilbert adaptation of R.J. Minney's biography. I didn't really buy her - she comes over more like the Head Girl - and as a result the film was a bit disappointing, not as good as Odette (who was an adviser on the film).

With Paul Schofield, Jack Warner, Denise Grey, Maurice Ronet, Sydney Tafler, Bill Owen, Billie Whitelaw.

Music by William Alwyn, photographed by John Wilcox, edited by John Shirley.
