ODETTE

£99.50

Original 10 inch x 8 inch Black and White Portrait of ANNA NEAGLE in the 1950 Herbert Wilcox Wartime Drama ODETTE, with a screenplay by Warren Chetham Strode.

Odette Sansom was a French spy who worked as an SOE operative in occupied France. She was captured and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, but survived the war.

Odette Sansom was born in France, but later moved to England. In 1941 she responded to requests by the War Office for people to send photographs of France. These photographs encouraged the War office to recruit Odette into the Special Operations Executive SOE; the SOE was responsible for training agents to be dropped into France.

The portrait is in very good condition with minor staining in the left border.
