Summary: Three classic wartime dramas: A TOWN LIKE ALICE sees female prisoners of war at the mercy of the notoriously sadistic Japanese Army, a man and woman find hope and love in each other as they are forced at bayonet point on a long march of death. Based on Nevil Shute's best-seller, this film saw Best Actor and Best Actress BAFTAs awarded to Peter Finch and Virginia McKenna for their great performances.<BR>CARVE HER NAME WITH PRIDE is based on the heroic true story of Violette Szabo. Violette, fluent in French, volunteered to parachute into France to work as a secret agent alongside the French Resistance during World War II. After being captured by the Germans she refused to reveal the identities of her comrades to the Gestapo despite being tortured. Szabo, portrayed here by Virginia McKenna, was subsequently deported to a concentration camp and eventually executed.<BR>THIS HAPPY BREED, based on the play by Noel Coward, follows the Gibbons family saga between the two World Wars. Frank (Robert Newton) having been demobbed returns to his wife (Celia Johnson) and family. They move to the suburbs in an attempt to get back to a sort of normality with good-old British grit.
