Unseen for 40 years and one of the most sought after productions from Michael Powell's body of work, these three plays directed for Espionage showcase his short foray into TV in the mid-1960s.
The three gripping stories feature the Oscar-nominated director's exploration of WWII sabotage, the Cold War, and a more light-hearted take on the war between Britain and America, the latter starring Roger Livesey, who Powell worked with to such acclaim on A Matter of Life and Death and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.
THE FRANTICK REBEL This is the story of an American girl in London who tries to smuggle English battle secrets to Dr. Benjamin Franklin in Paris, pitting her wits against famed diarist James Boswell and Dr. Samuel Johnson. Starring Roger Livesey, Stanley Baxter and Jill Bennett
NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON A FRIEND War forces a harsh test of comradeship on men of different nationalities whose adventures together as a team of saboteurs have cemented a deep friendship. Starring George Voskovec, Donald Madden, Mark Eden and Julian Glover
A FREE AGENT The story of the bitter-sweet romance of a British spy who marries a lovely Russian agent. Can the two governments concerned allow such a marriage? Starring Anthony Quayle and Sian Phillips
