Charlotte Gray (2001)

This was a pretty good movie. It has Cate Blanchett who is a Scottish spy who goes to France during World War 2. She helps the French Resistance, blowing up German military trains and hiding two Jewish boys. She not only has to evade the German occupiers, but also the French Pro-Vichy collaborators.
It seems to me that France hasn't done enough to bring to justice those who collaborated with the Germans and yet they were given a zone of occupation in post-war Germany while we sold out those countries (like Poland, Czechoslovakia) which did more to stop the war.
The movie had what all the good war movies have: war, drama, suspense, betrayal and some romance.
