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

Is this the film you had in mind? - Carve Her Name with Pride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
Carve Her Name with Pride is a 1958 British drama film based on the book of the same name by R.J. Minney. Set during World War II, the film is based on the true story of the heroism of Special Operations Executive agent Violette Szabo.

The film includes the reading of the poem The Life That I Have, written by Leo Marks and given to Szabo as she left for a mission in Nazi-occupied France.

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.
