Phyllis Calvert, Flora Robson, Patricia Roc and Renee Houston star
in this World War Two drama set in a women's internment camp in
Nazi-occupied France. Forced to live together in trying
circumstances, a group of British women from varied backgrounds
must put their social differences aside and band together to
protect not just themselves, but three survivors from a British
bomber plane who make an emergency landing in the camp's grounds.
Six classic movies starring Margaret Lockwood. 'The Wicked Lady'
(1945) is set during the reign of King Charles II. Lockwood stars
as Lady Skelton, an aristocrat who attempts to relieve the tedium
of her day-to-day life by secretly acting as a highway robber. Lady
Skelton soon finds herself caught up in a tangled web of romance,
danger, and jealousy. In 'Love Story' (1944), Lissa (Lockwood)
discovers she only has a short time to live, so travels to Cornwall
for a final fling. While there, she falls in love with young
mineral prospector, Kit (Stewart Granger). However, the course of
true love does not run smoothly. In 'Bank Holiday' (1938), a group
of people set off on an August bank holiday, including a raucous
Cockney family, a would-be beauty queen, and two young lovers -
whose relationship starts to come apart when one has to deal with a
bereavement at the hospital where she works. In 'Give Us the Moon'
(1944), a young man, Sascha (Vic Oliver), joins a group called 'The
Elephants' whose principle is to abide by a complete disregard for
work. However chaos ensues when the group decides to help run the
hotel owned by Sascha's father. In 'Highly Dangerous' (1950), when
British Intelligence discovers that an Iron Curtain country is
developing insects as weapons, they dispatch entomologist Frances
Gray (Lockwood) to get into the country and collect specimens.
However her cover is almost immediately blown on her arrival and
her contact is murdered. Finally, in 'The Lady Vanishes' (1938),
when the elderly Miss Froy (Dame May Whitty) goes missing on a
train bound for England, her friend Iris Henderson (Lockwood) sets
out to find her. However, Iris' attempts are immediately frustrated
by her fellow passengers, who question whether Miss Froy ever even
existed. Only music scholar Gilbert Redman (Michael Redgrave) is
prepared to believe Iris, and together they set about getting to
the bottom of the mystery.
