Well-done WW II espionage story based on fact. McKenna plays a London shopgirl whose French officer husband is killed in action. She enlists as a British agent and on her second mission is captured by the Germans. Sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, she is tortured and finally
executed, winning a posthumous George Cross for her bravery. The story is simply told and absorbing, with excellent performances all around.
