The listing says comedy/drama, well it could possibly stand alongside such wartime comedies as 'The Goose Steps out' or 'Very Important Person' but not quite. Why it is called 2,000 Women is beyond me when we barely see two dozen, I mean how many rooms would you need to 2 at a time in, 1,000, really do the maths.
Tenko this ain't!
The women prisoners look well fed, wearing the best clothes and heavily made up, I can't imagine the Germans treated any British female prisoners like this. OK it was made during the war and there is perhaps a bit of propaganda about it, but to say it's a comedy is laughable in itself.
I can't believe the like of Dame Flora, Phyllis Calvert and Jean Kent agreed to do this daft piece of tosh. There is one scene when one of the men are seen smoking a pipe, as if.
I'm saying avoid it but don't expect anything close to factual.
