Film Synopsis

During the Second World War, safecracker Eddie Chapman is languishing in prison in Jersey when the Nazis invade and take control of the island.  In exchange for being freed, Chapman offers the Germans his services as a secret agent, spying on the British for his own financial gain.  The Nazis have good reason to be suspicious of Chapman's motives, for once he has made contact with British intelligence, Chapman offers to work for them.  The crook must use every ounce of cunning he has to prevent his deception from being discovered.  Unfortunately, he has one weakness which may bring about his downfall: a liking for the fair sex...

The best French Films of the 1920s
sb-img-3
In the 1920s French cinema was at its most varied and stylish - witness the achievements of Abel Gance, Marcel L'Herbier, Jean Epstein and Jacques Feyder.
The very best period film dramas
sb-img-20
Is there any period of history that has not been vividly brought back to life by cinema? Historical movies offer the ultimate in escapism.
The very best sci-fi movies
sb-img-19
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
