Odette (1950)
Director: Herbert Wilcox
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Neagle portraying another Great Lady, this time Odette Churchill, the French wife of an Englishman, who spied for the French Resistance during World War II, was captured and tortured by the Nazis, but survived to be awarded the George Cross. Neagle acquits herself reasonably well, but the whole film is bogged down by a surfeit of respect and patriotism. The kind of film in which you know in advance exactly what will happen next.Author: GA
