Conspiracy of Hearts
(1960)
Directed by Ralph
Thomas this film stars Lilli Palmer, Sylvia Syms, Yvonne Mitchell and
Ronald Lewis. During the Second World War nuns in Italy attempt to
smuggle Jewish children from a concentration camp to safety but
things become more dangerous when a German officer takes command of
the area.
While this film has a
fairly simple plot and safe take on it's subject matter it inevitably
has some heart breaking moments. With a bit more depth this could
have been a really excellent film but falls just short, still being a
good watch. Most of the cast give good performances although it's
clear most are British rather than the nationalities they are
supposed to be portraying.
3/5
