Landing in our inbox is The Partisan trailer inspired by the true story of Britain’s first and most daring female spy, Krystyna Skarbek. Born in Poland she was the first woman to serve Britain as a special agent during the Second World War, as well as the country’s longest-serving agent one of the most effective. Hailed as Winston Churchill’s favourite spy and deemed Britain’s most glamorous, this courageous bona fide hero was also the inspiration behind the original James Bond girl, Vesper Lynd, in Ian Fleming’s first novel, Casino Royale.
Set in 1939. Krystyna Skarbek – a fearless and headstrong woman – persuades a shadowy British agent, known only as Trenchcoat, to send her into Nazi-occupied Poland, where she must gather intel. But she has her own reasons to go there… her mother’s life is in danger.
When Krystyna’s mission doesn’t go to plan, she narrowly escapes but suffers a huge personal loss and vows to make her life count. Four years later, hardened by the horrors of war and having proven herself, the resolute spy is parachuted into southern
France, where she must assess the fragmented French Resistance and greenlight a major British weapons drop. Going undercover as a schoolteacher, Krystyna infiltrates a network on the edge of collapse. When betrayal surfaces and the resistance is nearly destroyed, Krystyna defies orders and takes a reckless stand. Alongside her only allies – including
the legendary, but broken spy Roger and the fierce resistance leader Armand – they bait the German spy hunters into a fatal ambush, could victory at last be possible?
But the war has far more terror and treachery in store… refusing to run, Krystyna must face danger head on, as she prepares to do the impossible. Wounded and alone… the brave heroine embarks on the mission that will define her legacy.
Directed by James Marquand, the film features a lead performance from Morgane Polanski (The French Dispatch), alongside screen legend Malcolm McDowell, as undercover British agent Trenchcoat.
The Partisan is set for its World Premiere this September, in cinemas from 3rd October and its home release on 27th October.
