The film Odette was released in 1950 and was directed by Herbert Wilcox. The lead role of Odette Sansom was played by Anna Neagle, and Trevor Howard played her husband, Peter Churchill. The film was based on the book by Jerrard Tickell, who also co-wrote the screenplay.
The film follows Odette's story from her recruitment by the Special Operations Executive to her capture by the Germans and imprisonment in Ravensbrück. The film also portrays her relationship with Peter Churchill, who was also a SOE agent, and their efforts to gather intelligence for the Allied forces.
While the film takes some liberties with the historical record, it is generally accurate in its depiction of Odette's bravery and resilience in the face of torture and imprisonment. The film also highlights the sacrifices made by SOE agents in the fight against Nazi Germany.
The film was well-received both commercially and critically, and Anna Neagle was praised for her performance as Odette. The film was also significant in that it was one of the first British films to address the Holocaust and the concentration camps.
