Christine: War My Love - The real life exploits of the female bond.

The story of beautiful wartime spy Christine Granville, who was Ian Fleming’s lover and the inspiration for the James Bond character Vesper Lynd, is to be made into a major film acording to The Daily Mail.

It is to be called Christine: War My Love, and is due begin filming in June. No word yet on who will be playing the lead but Kate Winslet is in the running as is the most recent Vesper Lynd, Eva Green. It will be directed by Agnieszka Holland, whose credits include Total Eclipse, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

The movie follows the exploits of Polish countess Krystyna Skarbek, who adopted the name Christine Granville for her wartime exploits with Britain’s Special Operations Executive. She was awarded the George Medal for her work against the Gestapo and sounds like she was the female version of James Bond.

Her courageous actions, including a treacherous crossing into her native Poland from Hungary with the help of an Olympic skiing champion, helped saved countless lives.

After the war, she drifted into a series of affairs – including one with Fleming – before enrolling as a stewardess on a cruise ship where she met the man who was to murder her in 1952.

Ms Holland said: ‘Krystyna was almost certainly the most remarkable female spy of the Second World War. She was intelligent, courageous, seductive and bewitchingly attractive and men were willing to sacrifice everything for her and go to any lengths to have and keep her.’

Skarbek’s cloak-and-dagger exploits saw daring raids into occupied Poland, with forays into Egypt and Syria. Parachuted into occupied France in 1944, she took on the persona ‘Pauline Armand’ to rally the Resistance.

After the war, Skarbek apparently found it difficult to settle. She took a job as a stewardess on a liner between Southampton and Australia, where she befriended the man who would later kill her.

An inadequate loner and obsessive, Dennis Muldowney turned into a pest, leading to a final confrontation at a hotel in Kensington. In a fit of rage, Muldowney brutally stabbed her to death. She was 44. Muldowney was sentenced to death at the Old Bailey, declaring on the way to the gallows: ‘To kill is the final possession.’

All sounds pretty amazing stuff and I had heard nothing about her life before this. It should make for a cracking film.

Who would you like to see play Christine? Kate, Eva or someone else?

I think Yvonne Strahovski is an obvious and natural choice to play the lead of Krystyna Skarbek.

Yvonne is a very talented and beautiful actress who also is experienced in acting in action sequences. She speaks fluent Polish and English and is very good at imitating accents.

If you're interested in improving your health, it [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]discount mbt shoes[/URL][/B] can be beneficial to start from the ground up. Let's talk about your footwear. How does [B]mbt sneakers[/B] yours rank? Some so-called fitness shoes merely look great, but don't really provide [B]mbt sandals[/B] any actual health benefits. Other shoes actually make a [U]MBT[/U] legitimate difference. If you want footwear that truly helps, MBT shoes are the first [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] step toward a healthier you.

What does MBT stand for? Good question. The [B]mbt sandals[/B] answer: Masai Barefoot Technology. They're designed to [B]mbt sandals[/B] simulate walking barefoot, which helped our ancestors to walk [U]mbt sneakers[/U] healthier than we do. Modern humans cram their feet into all kinds [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] of crazy, uncomfortable shoes, and we walk on [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] unnatural surfaces. MBT returns our feet to their natural, healthier [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] environment.

MBT shoes actually trigger and enforce the [B]mbt shoes review[/B] tiny muscles that cause our bodies to naturally absorb [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] shock. The patented construction of the MBT soles features a [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] unique sensor that causes a simulation of being on uneven [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] ground. It causes an instability that causes the body [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt walking shoes[/URL][/B] to react with slight movements to compensate for the instability. Thus, a "rolling" process [B]MBT shoes[/B] begins. This active, natural balancing act causes our bodies to automatically [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] exercise. As a result, muscles are strengthened and toned and posture is improved. Also, we experience less joint stress and back [U]footwear etc[/U] pain. Clearly, it's quite a workout, and the benefits are vast.


Upon first glance, the obvious difference [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] between these shoes and other brands is the dense, curved sole. When a [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] shoe is placed flat on the floor and you look at the side view, you'll notice [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] the areas under the heel and toe areas don't [B]MBT shoes[/B] touch the ground. That's part of the beauty of their design. This is how the stability [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] work comes into play. When you try them on, you feel a bit wobbly at first. There's a brief feeling that you might [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] roll backward. Again, the balance factor. This is why it's important to read the instructions [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] that accompany each pair, and follow them carefully. Shoes with an instruction manual? Yes, it's unusual, but these definitely [U]mbt sandals[/U] aren't your ordinary shoes. Perhaps this is why they're frequently touted as [B]mbt shoes review[/B] the "anti-shoe."


That's very good for you [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] . That's what MBT shoes do.

Now you see why keeping a natural balance is crucial toward maintaining [B]mbt shoes review[/B] a healthier you. If you're making your health a priority, then doesn't it make [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] sense to choose footwear that not only increases your fitness level, but also [B]mbt sneakers[/B] supports improved overall health? Now that you understand what all the [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] hype is about, perhaps it's time to try the MBT experience. Your body will thank [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] you.

As y'all might have noticed, I will do whatever it takes to [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany earrings[/URL][/B] weed out the most popular and chic jewelry around, even it takes traveling to [U][B]tiffany bracelets[/U][/B] very warm, beautiful areas like the island of Siesta Key in Florida. In fact, I'm even staying an extra few days here [U]pandora[/U] just to make sure that I absorb as much information and style as humanly [B]tiffany uk[/B] possible (either that or I'm simply not interested in journeying back to the cold tundra that is New York City). Either way, this is the best way for me to [B]pandora[/B] report back to you all the excellent styles that are pervading the fashion scene for the [U]tiffany sets][/U] spring and summer of 2009!

If any of you saw the 2008 romantic comedy, Fool's [U][B]pandora[/U][/B] Gold, I'm certain you found yourself frantically Googling Kate Hudson's Palm [B][URL=http://www.tiffanyfree.uk.com]tiffany & co[/URL][/B] Tree Necklace to find out where you could get one just like it. The palm tree necklace was popular last year, and is still flying [B]pandora uk[/B] off the shelves today. There truly is something appealing about this shining sterling silver and cubic zirconia necklace with its intricate palm tree design. Of course, we're all aware that [B]tiffany[/B] the palm tree necklace that Kate wears in the movie is the real Tiffany & Co. version, which is made of diamonds, but unless you [U][B]tiffany necklaces[/U][/B] are also a multi-millionaire like Kate, you probably will also stick to the inspired [U]tiffany co][/U] version.

On top of various forms of palm tree jewelry, I have [U]pandora[/U] found a bevvy of starfish, seahorse, and turquoise and coral-colored jewelry in the many boutiques and shops that Siesta [U]tiffany necklaces][/U] Key boasts. Look for two-tone starfish jewelry as a big hit this spring and summer, as well [U][B]pandora bracelets[/U][/B] as the Tiffany Inspired Anchor Necklaces, which is another fan-favorite. It also incorporates a [B]pandora bracelets[/B] sterling silver and cubic zirconia design that is nautical and airy for the [B]tiffany london[/B] warmer weather.

Another ring that I get numerous compliments [B][URL=http://www.pandorajewellery.uk.com]pandora uk[/URL][/B] on is an oxidized silver ring that I wear that has a big round cultured freshwater pearl at its center. The oxidized [U][B]tiffany bracelets[/U][/B] silver and pearl blends classiness with art-nouveau for a modern look that is truly [U][B]pandora bracelets[/U][/B] unique and sure to catch some attention.
