Reel WAR-167

Prison camp survivors recall.

Derek Jacobs (Clausius) is riveting as a World War II British code breaker who breaks one code too many. Jacobs plays Alan Turing, a brilliant mathematician and computer pioneer who was inducted into the Order of the British Empire in 1946 for breaking the Nazis' Enigma Code. But as these dramatic sketches from Turing's life make clear, he was alternately naive and disdainful of the mores of the day and failed to conceal his homosexuality. And for that, he paid dearly.
