Anthony Hopkins seen on set as hero Nicholas Winton who saved children from Nazis

The first images of Sir Anthony Hopkins as Sir Nicholas Winton have been revealed, showing the actor portraying the humanitarian who saved 669 children from the Nazis.

Oscar winner Sir Anthony, 84, will star in One Life, which tells the extraordinary story of how Sir Nicholas rescued 669 children from Czechoslovakia and brought them to Britain on eight trains he arranged in 1938-39.

Filmmakers are recreating the memorable scenes when Esther Rantzen reunited the banker with some of the refugees whose lived he saved in tearful scenes during a 1988 episode of That’s Life.
