Dunkirk is a powerful and suspenseful movie that depicts the harrowing true story of the evacuation of Dunkirk during World War II. With the Nazis invading France and the British military encircled, a desperate plan is set in motion to rescue over 300,000 British soldiers stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk. The film follows the intense and heroic efforts of the soldiers and civilian boats as they navigate the treacherous English Channel to bring the soldiers home.
During World War II, a pregnant woman and her family find themselves on a refugee train escaping Nazi-occupied France. They encounter danger, separation, and the challenges of living in cramped conditions on their journey to safety.
September 3rd, 1939. Britain and France declare war on Nazi Germany, only two days after the Wehrmacht invades Poland. This day, the sad date when the fate of the world changed forever, the Phoney War began: eight months of uncertainty, preparations, evacuations and skirmishes.
Constance Bennett both produced and starred in the espionager Paris Underground. Bennett and Gracie Fields play, respectively, an American and an English citizen trapped in Paris when the Nazis invade. The women team up to help Allied aviators escape from the occupied city into Free French territory. The screenplay was based on the true wartime activities of Etta Shiber, who engineered the escape of nearly 300 Allied pilots. British fans of comedienne Gracie Fields were put off by the scenes in which she is tortured by the Gestapo, while Constance Bennett's following had been rapidly dwindling since the 1930s; as a result, the heartfelt but tiresome Paris Underground failed to make a dent at the box-office. It would be Constance Bennett's last starring film--and Gracie Fields' last film, period.
