Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHelena Bonham Carter's maternal grandfather, Eduardo Proper de Callejon, also rescued many Jews from the Holocaust, by forging Spanish exit visas.
- GoofsIn 1938 Nicky answers his phone at home and straight away speaks to his friend calling from Czechoslovakia. At that time all trunk (long distance) and international calls to and from the UK were operator-connected and there would have been a delay before the two parties could speak to each other.

Featured review
This is truly an exceptional piece of work. Having seen the trailer it could've easily been made to look and feel quite tacky but I was genuinely surprised and extremely impressed by what has been accomplished. Every step of the production was presented exactly as you would want from a time period piece and I don't recall seeing any cgi at all and certainly none which could've potentially shattered the illusion. The commitment of the actors, both past and present versions were magnificent and made you completely believe their situations. The story is an exceptional one and I'm glad that it has been told in exactly the way it was & it absolutely destroyed me & I don't think there was a dry eye left from anyone in the cinema screening that I watched it in. Anything which gives me the immediate emotional reaction that this did means that it deserves a full 5 stars.
