I cannot watch "Carve Her Name With Pride". It isn't because it's a bad film (it isn't), it's because I find the part where she was tortured so harrowing, it makes my blood boil.

Watch Odette instead. The real Odette didn't hate her torturers. She realised that hating them wouldn't hurt them and the hatred would just eat away inside her

It wasn't about hating her torturers; I've watched both films and they're both extremely good. I just find it harrowing.

How do you think the ladies in question felt about it?
(the real ones even more so although the actresses playing the parts also went though some quite unpleasant stuff)

Of course it's harrowing. But does that really stop you watching either film again?
Sometimes it's good to be harrowed

I think also certain films become quite dated - so first time around ok - but then never again!
But the other side of the coin - don't you find certain films you can watch and watch and watch - no problem!

He was quite pally with the late Princess Margaret - he often went to Mustique - where she lived for a large part of her life.
Apparently he was rather well blessed downstairs and his party trick was to use said appendage as a cocktail stirrer!
Certainly was a cocktail!!!

Mr Bindon was indeed a very hard man, but like most "hard men' he would on occasion use his physical prowess carelessly and inappropriately. There's a real difference between violence on the screen and the real thing. Mr Bindon knew about both.
