    An Excellent Motion Picture Made for TV.
    The story of the movie is great.

    Based on the novel by Graham Greene of the same name, this is a story of a French advocate Chavel who, while imprisoned by the Germans during the occupation, trades his material possessions for his life w...( read more)ith another prisoner when condemned to the firing squad. At the end of the war, Chavel, posing as one of the other prisoners, returns to his home which is now occupied by the prisoner's sister, Therese, who bitterly awaits the return of the man who had indirectly caused the death of her brother. His real identity unknown to Therese, Chavel is invited to stay as a caretaker and to identify Chavel should he return to the house. The relationship between Chavel and Therese develops until one night, someone calling himself Chavel turns up at their doorstep.

    The movie nominated for Golden Globe in best motion picture made for TV.
    Anthony Hopkins did a great job in it and was nominated for Golden Globe in best performance by an actor.
    Derek Jacobi was nominated for Golden Globe in best performance by an actor in a supporting role and won Emmy Awards in outstanding supporting actor.
