This special extended version of ONE AGAINST THE WIND also includes "The Making of One Against The Wind" and provides vivid insight about the woman who ran the most successful Allied escape route out of France. Judy Davis and Sam Neill star in this extraordinary true story of heroism that captured Golden Globe awards for Best Drama and Best Actress for Judy Davis. This is the story of a stubborn, driven woman, the countess de Melville, Mary Lindell, as played by Judy Davis, and her part in the French Resistance. The movie captures well the flavor of occupied France, and moves between action there, and London, where the first man she helps escape back to freedom, played by Sam Neil, works to coordinate her efforts with British intelligence. Her son, who was present on the set when it was being filmed, and whose life is also featured in the film, said that Davis perfectly captured the character of his mother. This Hallmark production is all dialogue and interaction, a classic war film. It is a crown jewel in any film collection.
