Best British Actress | 1959 | Virginia
Of the ninety-two days she spent filming, Virginia McKenna only had two days off from the rigorous schedule which included getting up at 5:30 each morning. The two days off were to marry Bill Travers and have a very brief honeymoon.
Technical advisor Leo Marks was in charge of the codes and ciphers for all S.O.E. Agents during the war, when he was only twenty.
Sir Michael Caine appears briefly as one of the prisoners on the train. As Violette (Virginia McKenna) starts to escape he leans forwards and calls out for water.
"The Life That I Have" was written by Leo Marks, an English cryptographer. It was used as a poem code in World War II. During the war, published poems were often used for encrypting messages, but since the original sources could be found by enemy cryptanalysts, the code was easily broken. By writing his own creation, Marks was able to counter the enemy's actions. The poem was issued by Marks to Violette Szabo.
After firing machine guns, jumping from a parachute training platform, spending weeks learning unarmed combat, wading through an ice cold lake at night, spending many hours doing physical jerks and cross country runs, there was one thing that made Virginia McKenna scream with terror: a cockroach in a pile of vegetables.
"Etienne Szabo: The life that I have Is all that I have And the life that I have Is yours. The love that I have Of the life that I have Is yours and yours and yours. A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have Yet death will be but a pause. For the peace of my years In the long green grass Will be yours and yours and yours."
