In Reply to: "Charlotte Gray"---I *really* liked this film. posted by Ears on July 21, 2002 at 00:58:36:
I heard about this film today and I have read through a couple of the reviews. The story line sounds very familar and this film may be a remake of a British production that was released in the late forties or early fifties. I cannot remember who starred in this excellent film, possibly Deborah Kerr, but the story was essentially true. Do you happen to know if "Charlotte Gray" was based on a true story?
Follow Ups:
It's from Sebastian Faulks' novel "Charlotte Gray." I don't think it's based on a real person and is true only in the sense that people like Charlotte Gray existed and did the sorts of things she does in the film. I haven't read "Charlotte Gray" but did read Faulks' previous book "Birdsong", a pretty good WWI novel.A similar Deborah Kerr film doesn't come to mind, but I wouldn't be surprised if a film dealing with the same subject matter was made during the late 40's-early 50's.
Thanks! I quite sure the name of that film was "Write Her Name With Pride" or similar. I will definitely look up Faulks book. It should be a good read.
Haven't seen it.
