Movie Details Click Here !Storyline: Winston Churchill was mad about films, arguably more so than any other politician in history, but the true extent of his use of them as a war weapon has not been previously explored. Before the Second World War, one of Britain's most celebrated film producers, Alexander Korda, signed up Churchill as a screenwriter and historical advisor, and a unique collaboration began. Churchill provided script advice for Korda's productions and also penned an epic screenplay. When war broke out, their collaboration became of immeasurable importance. Alexander Korda was sent on a spy mission to Hollywood with the aim of bringing America into the war. Using previously undiscovered documents, that mission and the friendship which underpinned it is explored for the first time in a new documentary by writer-director John Fleet.—January Pictures

Movie Details Click Here !Storyline: During WW2, in Nazi-occupied Norway, most locals hate the Germans but a few collaborate with them. Norwegian Nicole Larsen is engaged to be married to the regional German commandant, Maj. Paul Dichter. Being on the side of the Germans has its advantages for Nicole, who is despised by most of the patriotic locals. Unknown to them is the fact that Nicole is a member of the Resistance, an agent of the British S.O.E. and has been sent to her native Norway to collect intelligence. Her relationship with German Maj. Paul Dichter is just a front, an excuse to be around him, his military plans and around German military installations without raising the Nazis' suspicions. She regularly passes the information she collects to a contact man in town, her optometrist, who passes it to London. However, after a few successful British air raids against secret German installations and after several sabotage actions against the local German garrison, the German commanders become suspicious of her. At first, her German fiancé and lover vehemently denies she could be a Resistance fighter and staunchly defends her in front of his suspicious superiors and colleagues. Later, however, he becomes suspicious of her himself and agrees to test her loyalty to Germany by setting up a trap for Nicole. Sensing danger, Nicole contacts London. Her London bosses decide to send a British commando, Capt. Allan Lowell, to rescue Nicole and possibly kill Maj. Paul Dichter.—nufs68
