Carve Her Name With Pride is based on R. J. Minney's book about real-life British war heroine Violet Szabo. Played by Virginia McKenna, Violet joins the war effort when her French husband is killed. By virtue of her facility at languages, Violet is sent by the British secret service to spy on the Germans. Captured, she is tortured to reveal her secrets; her refusal to betray her comrades earns her the grudging respect of her Nazi tormentors. After her execution, Violet Szabo is posthumously awarded the George Cross.
