"The Last Passage" was well made but inevitably it's a snapshot of one particular episode - the arrest of Dédée De Jongh in Jan '43. Moztu Films, the Basque company that put it together, was funded by a grant but sadly, Moztu had to be wound up due to the global economic downturn a few years ago.

A major film could be made out of the Comet story - but there were so many individual stories that the problem would be in deciding the focus.

For those interested in reading more about Comète, I'd recommend Airey Neave's "Little Cyclone".. (PPRuNer) John Nichol & Tony Rennell's "Home Run".. Peter Eisner's "The Freedom Line" and Edward Stourton's "Cruel Crossing".

A major reference work on Comète was published in French last year by Philippe Le Blanc but at 49€ it's beyond the reach of the casual reader. Ten years in the making, the author (a former Belgian intelligence officer) covers the period from 1940 to Feb '43 in 464 pages..
