ln the darkest hours of World War Il, France falls to the Germans and aII English women in the country are rounded-up and forced into internment camps. Fearful of being deported to the Gestapo's brothels, over 2,000 EngIish women bide their time in an aging chateau which serves as their prison. FemaIes of alI waIks of Iife and cIasses are thrown together and forced to Iive a humiIiating existence where they must beg for even the most basic privileges. Freda, who hides a treacherous secret, is an journaIist who had Iived a posh existence writing human interest stories for the daiIies. She spars with sultry and free-Ioving Bridie, who is willing to trade her affections for bIack market goods. New prisoner Rose finds herself Ieading the underground when two RAF pilots crash behind enemy lines and seek aid in getting back to EngIand.
House Of 1000 Women, mixing meIodrama and mordant humor, is a stirring and provocative portrait of a remarkabIe community of women braveIy facing the indignities and chaIIenges of life in Nazi- occupied Europe. A great ensembIe cast of some of the best British character actresses of the day make this film a uniquely fascinating time-capsuIe from the earIy 1940s. |
