Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

mark.waltz Even when under Nazi guard in a detention center, these women gather together to fight, scheme, laugh, love and entertain-all for the purpose of getting three British soldiers who crash-landed near their temporary home to safety. This enjoyable drama of a different type of resistance features a diverse variety of characters-flirtatious, bitchy, noble, older and wiser, dizzy, and even betrayers like the oh-so-plucky butch floor leader who is actually a Nazi informer. Lead by legendary British actresses Phyllis Calvert and Flora Robson, this patriotic flag-waver is a salute to the women left alone while their men fought or were already victims of the Nazi evil. Robson as a no-nonsense spinster unafraid to stand up to the Nazis gives a memorable performance especially when facing the threat of being shipped to Germany for alerting the British Air Force to the compound during an air raid. There are many moments of great satisfaction that these women have in either fooling or harassing the Nazis, particularly one when they have a house meeting with one of the men in attendance in drag.

garlygogs I recently stumbled upon this film on Channel 4. Thankfully I only missed the first ten minutes as it turned out to be a most enjoyable film.If you're reading this review then you have most probably seen the movie so a synopsis is not needed.All I really have to say is that the mainly female cast is absolutely superb. I defy anyone to pick out a single performance that stands out from the rest. Phyllis Calvert, Patricia Roc, Thora Hird..the excellent cast just oozes British actresses who went on to even greater performances.The only thing that let's this film down are the actors who play the British soldiers. Whilst they are good, I found them maybe a little too old for the parts.All in all though, it is a splendid film. If a remake were made today, it could boast an amazing cast of todays British talent.I checked IMDb after watching this film and sadly, most of the cast are with us no more. It is as a tribute to them that I write this little review.

Alex da Silva The setting is a women's internment camp which resembles a very large, posh country house with several halls, plenty of space and some luxury rooms. Three RAF pilots find their way into the camp and the women must hide them before these 3 heroic chaps can make their escape. Will things work out as planned....? There are definitely not 2,000 women in this place. There are, however, a group of irritating women who deserve to be incarcerated. Phyllis Calvert as "Freda" speaks in a ghastly posh accent for the whole film and is quite annoying. Jean Kent as "Bridie" is the funniest to watch while Renee Houston as "Maude" is far better as a cabaret singer/performer than as a wise-cracking street-girl. Betty Jardine does well as section supervisor "Teresa" but there are no great performances in this story. Patricia Roc as "Rosemary" comes off as the best character but she shouldn't be in the film in the first place. She is caught by the French signalling to German airplanes to blow up an ammunition hold. She's in the wrong goddam prison! An attempt is made at sentimentalism by having somebody sing "There's no place like home" whilst we pan across several of the women's faces. It's rubbish. Another moment that doesn't work happens when Muriel (Flora Robson) and Clairen (Muriel Aked) are taken away to a German prison camp. I'm afraid that we just don't care! There is no drama. The men have absolutely no presence and come across as slightly wimpish.The ending is laughably bad. I'm not referring to the plot but to the rendition of "There'll always be an England". However, the film is lightweight fluff that passes the time and it's OK as that.

davey-7 The critics were a bit sniffy at the time of its release, but this is one of the jolliest films made during the war. It concerns a group of English women caught in France during World War II and interned in a posh hotel. It's full of the sort of "There'll always be an England" stiff upper lip stuff that looks so kitch these days, and yet there's also a feeling of release for these women since there are no men around.Sadly, some RAF men accidentally parachute into the camp and the women have to hide them from the Germans. The men are undercast and a bit dreary, but they wouldn't stand a chance against the cream of British character actresses anyway.The rest of the film concerns the women's attempts to smuggle the men out of the camp. The plot however is irrelevent. What matters is the way these actresses work without having to compete for billing with any male star. The film is fun, risque and the best British romp before Tom Jones.
