Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Captive Heart is a 1946 British war film directed by Basil Dearden, starring Michael Redgrave and his real life wife, Rachel Kempson. The film tells the story of a Czech concentration camp surviver, Capt Karel Hasek (Redgrave), who has to assume the identity of a dead British soldier named Geoff Mitchell and join British prisoners of war to avoid execution. Part of living under his false identity involves writing letters to the Mitchell's wife so that the prison authorities won't suspect. On receiving his letters, Mitchell's estranged wife, Celia (Kempson), begins to hope for a reconciliation, unaware that the man writing to her is not her husband. | |

| The Captive Heart / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Pvt. Matthews volunteers to give up his place on the repatriation list in Karel's favour so that the latter can leave for England before the prison authorities identify him as a concentration camp escapee. Matthews also nearly loses his life in attempting to substitute Karel's name in place of his, when a guard dog detects him sneaking around in the night and the guards open fire. He is only just rescued by Karel. | |
