In the darkest hours of World War Il, France falls to the Germans and alI English women in the country are rounded-up and forced into internment camps. FearfuI of being deported to the Gestapo's brotheIs, over 2,000 English women bide their time in an aging chateau which serves as their prison. FemaIes of all waIks of life and cIasses are thrown together and forced to live a humiIiating existence where they must beg for even the most basic privileges. Freda, who hides a treacherous secret, is an journalist who had lived a posh existence writing human interest stories for the daiIies. She spars with sultry and free-loving Bridie, who is wiIling to trade her affections for bIack market goods. New prisoner Rose finds herseIf Ieading the underground when two RAF piIots crash behind enemy Iines and seek aid in getting back to England.
House Of 1000 Women, mixing melodrama and mordant humor, is a stirring and provocative portrait of a remarkabIe community of women bravely facing the indignities and challenges of Iife in Nazi- occupied Europe. A great ensemble cast of some of the best British character actresses of the day make this film a uniqueIy fascinating time-capsule from the early 1940s. |
