Anecdotes
Anna Neagle spent a year with Odette Hallowes visiting the various prisons and camps where she was held and being introduced to other surviving S.O.E. Agents. Odette said of her, "She was absolutely into it. In fact, it took one year after the end of the film to get back to normal. She was more upset by doing that film than I was reliving the experience."

Gaffes
When Neagle & Ustinov are scrambling up a snow bank in order to light the beacon for the aircraft, they scramble up the SAME bank twice.

Epilogue, scrolls up the screen ... "It is with a sense of deep humility that I allow my personal story to be told. I am a very ordinary woman to whom a chance was given to see human beings at their best and at their worst. I knew kindness as well as cruelty, understanding as well as brutality. My comrades, who did far more than I and suffered far more profoundly, are not here to speak. It is to their memory that this film has been made and I would like it to be a window through which may be seen those very gallant women with whom I had the honour to serve." Odette Churchill

Good history lesson if nothing else

Watched this film previously sometime in the '60s and it follows as much as we can be told about the SOE in WW2. I didn't think much of Anna Neagles French or her accent although I know her husband, Herbert Wilcox, the films Director and Producer used foreign actors wherever possible and needed a 'name' in the lead female role to carry the film. Also starred Trevor Howard, Bernard Lee, Peter Ustinov and Marius Goring and tells the story of Odette Sanson, recruited to the SOE and dropped into France. Neagle was quite the 'star' of Biopics having played Queen Victoria, Edith Cavell in film same name (Very good and historically quite accurate. Wilcox Direction is a little slow and pedantic and is the thing that really lets the film down. Another true-story is Carve her name with Pride (excellent) about Violette Szabo (played by Virginia McKenna) another SOE recruit, described as 'the bravest of them all'.
