Virginia McKenna stars alongside Oscar winner Peter Finch in this acclaimed adaptation of Nevil Shutes moving novel.

During her ordeal she meets captive Australian Joe Harman and there is an instant magnetism between them. As they talk to each other during their confinement, Jean learns about Joes hometown of Alice Springs, and his hope of returning there one day. To relieve the sufferings of the women prisoners, Joe steals a quantity of chickens from the sadistic Captain Sugaya, but when he is caught Sugaya orders Joe to be executed in front of Jean and the others...
