06 Feb The Tenth Man
The Tenth Man, WWII Movie starring Anthony Hopkins
(1988) In 1941 occupied France, a wealthy lawyer is captured by the Germans as he is walking through his town. He is taken to a prison where the Germans have gathered together many such men so that whenever the Resistance acts against them they can execute French citizens in retaliation.
One day the group is told that out of each ten men, one will be shot at 7 am.
Based on a short novel by Graham Greene, this Hallmark Hall of Fame film starred Anthony Hopkins and Kristin Scott Thomas as the main characters. The acting was excellent of course. I was surprised when I learned that it was made for television.
Well worth watching.
