Movie Preview: “The Partisan” fights the odds and the Nazis in WWII Poland

Morgane Polanski and Malcolm McDowell star in this mistitled “true story” retelling of the derring do of Krystyna Skarbek, a Polish spy run back into Warsaw by the Brits to supply the resistance there.

Malcolm McDowell is her British handler. He has the coolest code name ever used in a spy picture — “Trench Coat.”

Polanksi? She’s the daughter of a pedophile who gave her roles in his films “The Pianist” and “The Ghostwriter,” and gave her a start.

James Marquand (“One Night in Istanbul”) directed this Oct. 3 release.
