Odette

Odette Sansom, played by Anna Neagle, is parachuted into occupied France, where she works to help the locals survive under Nazi rule while passing vital information to Britain. With the help of Captain Peter Churchill, played by Trevor Howard, and their Jewish radio operator Alex Rabinovitch, Odette is a determined and brave agent who faces torture and execution at the hands of the Gestapo. She eventually survives the war and testifies against the prison guards at the Hamburg Ravensbrück Trials, earning her the George Cross in 1946.
