Fire for Effect: The Unproduced Screenplay

by Ib Melchior

Fire For Effect is a WWII story, but not of the ordinary kind. Based on a true incident, it involves a little known, but vitally important branch of Military Intelligence - the IPWs - Interrogators of Prisoners of War. It is the story of a battle of wits between two officers, good men both, with strong convictions, integrity and a firm sense of duty - but on opposite sides. And it concerns a potentially catastrophic event about to happen.
