Bonnie L @BonnieL Jun 27 The character development is weak and the story line detaches abruptly. Nevertheless, it captures the fear and angst of living in the midst of WW2 and courage of the Resistance. Though slow and somewhat ambiguous it wraps up the story with the real character of the heroine.

Even the elements of the script inspired by Krystyna's story are twisted. Polanski is talented and certainly well cast, with a much more accurate screenplay could have pulled off a winner. Her acting ability sadly let down by such a poor film script. A film about this incredible ladies wartime exploits as Churchill's favourite spy remains yet to be made and long overdue. There are so many aspects of Skarbek's life that were bastardised and only diminished her real achievements. Saving the lives of Francis Cammaerts and Xan Fielding by walking into Gestapo HQ and talking the Gestapo into releasing the men the next day was sadly mis represented. For anyone whose interest was piqued by the film you will enjoy her life story told by Clare Mulley in the book "The spy who loved" much more.

Polish actors are great. Malcolm McDowell is brilliant. This film has everything - shooting, spying, exploding. If you liked James Bond then you'll love The Partisan. Also - I never heard of Krystyna Skarbek. This movie made me research her. Wow. Just google.
