Movie review - "Carve Her Name with Pride" (1958) ****

 Excellent war movie which takes its time but is so moving because of the bravery of its real people and sadness of the ending. Lewis Gilbert later said Diana Dors would've been mre suitable and that would've been a career adjusting role for Dors but Virginia McKenna is very good, especially in the last act. The material is strong.

Paul Scofield makes a splendid impact as her officer who loves her - I think this part is fictitious.
