"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.
The uncredited part played by Michael Caine (a prisoner on a German prison train bombed by the RAF who leans forward and calls to Violette Szabo for water) in real life was the war hero F. F. E. Yeo-Thomas (as recorded by Leo Marks in Chapter 76 of his book "").
