Odette

A classic tale of bravery and courage during WWII, Odette tells the true story of female war hero Odette Hallowes. After volunteering her services to the Special Operations Executive, Odette is despatched into Nazi occupied France and thrown into an intense world of espionage. Whilst on a deadly mission working for the French Resistance her cover is blown and Odette is captured and interrogated by ruthless Gestapo officers. But even after being brutally tortured and sentence to death in a concentration camp Odette still refuses to reveal any information concerning her original mission and her fellow spies. A gripping and authentic depiction of the War effort and struggle, Odette features a truly captivating performance from popular British actress Anna Neagle (School For Scandal, The Lady With The Lamp) in one of her most iconic and memorable roles. Also starring Trevor Howard (The Third Man) and Peter Ustinov (Death On The Nile).
