Trivia

Anna Neagle spent a year with Odette Hallowes visiting the various prisons and camps where Odette was held and being introduced to other surviving SOE agents. Odette said of her, "She was absolutely into it. In fact it took one year after the end of the film to get back to normal, she was more upset by doing that film than I was reliving the experience."

Goofs

Continuity: When Peter Churchill is being flown back to France, he takes off in a Mk1 Halifax B, but over the drop zone he's in a Mk2. This may seem esoteric, but the Mk1 had in-line Rolls Royce Merlin engines, triangular fins and a nose turret similar to the Lancaster. The Mk2 had Bristol Hercules radial engines, square fins and a blunt nose with no gun turret, a radically different aircraft. See more »

Crazy Credits

Epilogue, scrolls up the screen ...
"It is with a sense of deep humility that I allow my personal
story to be told. I am a very ordinary woman to whom a chance
has been given to see human beings at their best and at their
worst. I knew kindness as well as cruelty, understanding as well
as brutality.
My comrades, who did far more than I and suffered far more
profoundly, are not here to speak. It is to their memory that
this film has been made and I would like it to be a window
through which may be seen those very gallant women with
whom I had the honour to serve."
