Two Thousand Women

The film is set during the Second World War. The place is occupied France. The Germans have set up a camp there. British women are held in the camp. The women had been living in France before the war. They come from all sorts of backgrounds. The days pass under a closed order. Then a British bomber is shot down. Three of its airmen survive. The three take shelter in the camp. The women hide them from the Germans. That hiding carries danger for everyone. Meanwhile a way of getting the men out is looked for. Phyllis Calvert, Flora Robson and Patricia Roc take the leads, with Renée Houston also in the cast, in Frank Launder’s British film of 1944.
