The Captive Heart

In 1940, Czech army captain Karel Hašek (Michael Redgrave) broke out of Dachau, assumed the identity of a dead British officer, and fell in with thousands of English soldiers being marched to a POW camp. To maintain the facade, he went as far as to maintain a correspondence with the late serviceman’s estranged wife (Rachel Kempson)...which would stir feelings within them both. Fine fact-inspired World War II drama also stars Basil Radford, Mervyn Johns, Gordon Jackson. 100 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer.
