The Captive Heart, the 1946 (released in the U.S. in 1947) Basil Dearden English World War II (WWII) military POW (prisoner of war) melodrama ("Would you forge love letters to save your life?"; "The Strangest Love Story Ever Told..."; "He forged love letters - to save his life!"; about a group of British prisoners of war in a POW camp in Germany in World War II, and one of them is an impostor, who is actually a Czechoslovakian concentration camp escapee, who is impersonating a British officer, and he is sought by the Gestapo; the impostor must write to his "wife", who he has never met, of course, and he is constantly fearful of being discovered and being returned to a concentration camp) starring Michael Redgrave, Mervyn Johns, Gordon Jackson, Jimmy Hanley, Rachel Kempson, Basil Radford, Jack Warner, Guy Middleton, and Jane Barrett. Note that this movie was made right after World War II, and most of it was filmed in Germany, in a reconstructed POW camp. It is the first movie made about World War II German prisoners of war! In the movie, the impostor is only identified as being Czech, but because he was in a concentration camp, one wonders if he wasn't also Jewish, although that is not specified in the movie. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
