  Now It Can Be Told recreates the top secret missions of British agents behind enemy lines during the Second World War. What makes the film so unusual - and so compelling - is that the 'stars' of the film are the real life secret agents replaying their wartime roles in front of the cameras. Captain Harry Ree DSO OBE Croix de Guerre Medaille de La Resistance and Jacqueline Nearne MBE faithfully recreate their wartime missions as agents 'Felix' and 'Cat'. Together they help to harass Nazi troops in occupied France and to assist the Allies by paving the way for the D-Day invasion. In addition to real agents the film also depicts real procedures and locations used in agent training giving it value as a historical record that sets it apart from the more dramatic films about resistance fighters. Filming began in 1944 although the film was not shown in the cinema before 1946 when it first appeared as School for Danger.
