There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Essentially a woman on the prowl; chases down a stud, beds him, calls it love. Then the stud who is in RAF gets shot down; she takes up scheme as foreign agent to rescue her lover. Once assigned she falls in with communist resistance fighters eventually participates with a guy who turns on his own father, supposedly to save his two children, but in fact gets the father, his two children sent off to concentration camps to be gassed, causes the maid to be killed by the butt of a rifle. Our heroine is told stud lover was killed not captured; war ends heroine returns to England, and lo and behold by happenstance runs into her stud lover airman...he's alive... happy ending...nope she is cold as a clam when she meets stud cause she realizes she's in love with communist contact and leaves for France to find new stud who has the blood of his father and children on his hands. Ending? Both low life's deserve each other. Movies ends with a thud. Wasted time.

What a fantastic film is Charlotte Grey, she is a young lady who joins the British Government and trains as an agent and sent to France during the 2nd world war to liaise with the underground to fight the German Army. Unofficially she is searching for her airman lover Peter who has been shot down, that's all l'm saying, the acting is first class, and there are quite a few good actors, James Fleet (Vicar of Dibley) Rupert Penry-Jones (Spooks) Michael Gambon, Billy Crudup is so good as the hot head who is calmed down by Charlotte played by Kate Blachett who takes the character to the next level, the music is excellent, and the photography is beautiful, all in all this is a great film, and l gave it 10 out of 10 and would recommend it to anyone, you may need a hankie for the final scene.

In the midst of WWII, Charlotte Gray (Cate Blanchett) falls for dashing pilot Peter Gregory. She is recruited into the secret service since she spent time in France and is fluent. When Peter is lost behind the lines, she pushes to get the courier job for the French Resistance. Only she has the ulterior motive to find her missing love. Once on french soil, she finds french communist fighter Julien Levade (Billy Crudup).This is an utterly old fashion melodrama. That has less to do with the setting or time period. It has more to do with the style and the subject matter. The romance has no time to develop and has a very superficial manufactured old romance novel feel. Other than a pretty face, there is nothing to justify the grand romance being depicted. It would probably be more compelling to have this about a family member. Cate Blanchett is a truly wonderful actress, and any positives from this movie are all due to her. There is a sense of danger but it doesn't persist. Director Gillian Armstrong has made a beautiful movie. It just doesn't have better passion or excitement.

Gillian Armstrong's World War II melodrama "Charlotte Gray" casts Oscar winning actress Cate Blanchett as a Scottish lady who volunteers to serve as an undercover agent for British Intelligence in Vichy dominated France. The French scenery and settings are colorful, but this adaptation of Sebastian Faulks' novel generates few thrills despite its strong cast, controversial subject matter (French collaboration with the Nazis), and authentic period recreation of manpower and materials, such as enemy tanks. The action unfolds in 1942 as Charlotte (Cate Blachett) has left Scotland traveling by train to take a job in London. During the train ride, she encounters an individual, Richard Cannerley (James Fleet of "Sense and Sensibility"), hands her a business card with an invitation to visit him. Charlotte attends the party and meets RAF Flight Lieutenant Peter Gregory (Rupert Penry-Jones of "Match Point"), but Connerly interrupts them and takes her aside. Eventually, Charlotte goes to work for SOE and she bails out over France and joins the resistance. Not long afterward, she learns that Peter has been shot down over Paris. No sooner has our heroine landed in France than she runs afoul of the authorities. She slips a package of radio valves to a lady and the Vichy police take her into custody. Later, Charlotte meets Julien Levade and she helps him blow up a munitions train. Again, "Charlotte Gray" is an above-average movie that sheds more light on the corrupt Vichy government. Eventually, after the war ends, our heroine runs into Gregory, but she no longer feels romantically inclined to him. The Vichy officials are corrupt bastards. The action is held to a minimum and the violence is negligible.
