The Cast |
Plot SynopsisThe film centres mainly on the conversation of an Englishman
and a Frenchman sharing a room in a small British hotel during the war.
The Englishman has a son in the RAF. He sees a photograph of the Frenchman's
daughter and remarks, 'It's better to have a daughter in these days
of war.' The Frenchman shrugs and tells how his daughter became a nurse
and is now working for the Maquis in France. He has just had news that
she is alive. 'And that is your son?' the Frenchman asks. 'He bailed
out over France yesterday', is the answer. After a moment, the Frenchman
observes, 'There are many who will help a British airman in France'.
Their eyes turn towards the photograph of the girl. Excerpt© 'Puffin Asquith' by R.J. Minney. |
