For those in search of distraction from Budget boredom today, this drama documentary film created in 1945 may be of interest. It starts slowly but picks up speed as the story unfolds.

The leading participants:

Harry Alfred Rée, DSO, OBE

Jacqueline Nearne MBE

are in fact playing themselves as the SOE Agents. Add to which there is lots of brilliant footage of RAF a/c.

In the case of one of the two SOE Agents his actual operations in France were more dangerous than actually portrayed.
