AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An occupied village in Brittany must decide whether to hide a wounded British airman or hand him over to the German troops.

According to a contemporary review in The Times:

'The emphasis is placed upon the schoolchildren. It is out of them that the British officer in hiding (Mr. Terence Longdon) and the French school teacher (Miss Lisa Daniely) create the resistance movement, and it is they who at the end draw their own parents and the whole village into it.'
