Great Story about Violette Slabo, 14 March 2007
8/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

Never had the opportunity to view this 1958 film, however, I did have knowledge of the story behind Violette Salbo,(Virginia McKenna) and the wonderful poem she used as a code to destroy the Nazi's during WW 11. This picture clearly shows the horror of Hitler and his bunch of goons killing innocent men, woman and children in concentration camps and behind closed doors. Virginia McKenna gave an outstanding performance of Violette Salbo as a very brave woman who stood firm against the strong forces of evil and went on to be remembered in the hearts and minds of many generations to come. Don't miss this film, it is truly a great film Classic, however, it is very down to earth and rather sad and yet happy.
