It looks like the people, for eample the director, Lewis Gilbert, who made this film were also those who made 'A Night to Remember', the film about the Titianic and which was also made at Pinewood.
Each and every one of the agents from Szabo's unit was captured, tortured, and executed by the Germans as soon as they landed. It was strongly hinted, but no proofs, that the woman-control who sent them was a German agent. At the end of the War, the control was awarded an OBE to coverup the debacle.
Thank you so very much for uploading this film - I watched it several times many years ago, and as with all the war hero/heroines, she is up there with the best, played very well by Virginia McKenna. :)
The Clancy Brothers on their "Older, But No Wiser" CD sing a song based on the Leo Mark's poem that is now thought of as the definitive World War II code-poem The Life That I Have. I've listened to that song many times and now I can see the story behing it. Thanks
Can you imagine what that London street looks like now?
