Conspiracy Of Hearts (1960)

This was an unusually hard film to film as there appeared to be no record of it ever being released. We started searching after a request from a customer of ours who had noticed it was being screened in Australia in August. By an absolute stroke of luck the tv channel is one that did not have advert breaks and we managed to get one of our past customers to stay up to the wee hours to record it, and he did an excellent job. So he shipped over here and we have converted it onto dvd. We probably have the best copy of this rare film in the world!

When it arrived we was intrigued to see why it was rated so highly, especially after reading the review written on the Inter Movie Database by a lady who had watched it when she was a child. Some of the scenes are very dramatic, the acting is awesome in places, and if you don't own this movie you should seriously think about doing so, especially if you like war movies that are very dramatic as opposed to all-action. If you have ever seen "Carve Her Name With Pride", you will know what we mean.

Synopsis: In wartime Italy nuns in a convent regularly smuggle Jewish children out of a nearby internment camp. The Italian army officer in charge suspects what may be going on but deliberately turns a blind eye. When the Germans take over the camp security the nuns' activities become far more dangerous.
