Madam X
Can anyone tell me if they know of a film that came out in the sixties - Madam X - not the Lana Turner one - it was a movie about the French Resistence and the main charater's cover name was Madam X. She wrote poem in the movie which was used for the coded messages during the war.
"The life that I have is all that I have, and it's yours. The love that I have of the life that I have is yours and yours and yours." Since I cannot find this film on the net I am beginning to think I have the wrong title. Can anyone help? Thanks |

Interestingly, that poem was not a love poem per se rather it was a [w]poem code[/w]. It was used by crytoanalyst Leo Marks as a method of creating cyphers for his agents.
