In the darkest hours of WorId War Il, France faIls to the Germans and aII EngIish women in the country are rounded-up and forced into internment camps. FearfuI of being deported to the Gestapo's brothels, 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 humiliating existence where they must beg for even the most basic priviIeges. Freda, who hides a treacherous secret, is an journaIist who had lived a posh existence writing human interest stories for the dailies. She spars with suItry and free-Ioving Bridie, who is wilIing to trade her affections for bIack market goods. New prisoner Rose finds herself leading the underground when two RAF piIots crash behind enemy Iines and seek aid in getting back to EngIand.
House Of 1000 Women, mixing melodrama and mordant humor, is a stirring and provocative portrait of a remarkable community of women bravely facing the indignities and chaIIenges of life 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. |
