The story of this film takes place in 1944 and revolves around the valiant struggle of the French Resistance against German fascism. In 1944, the tide of war had shifted in favor of the Allies, and to defend Paris as the last bastion, Hitler sent a general to oversee the battle and hunt down members of the Resistance…The film was shot in 1966 as a collaboration between the United States and France, directed by the renowned French director René Clément. Clément used commercial filmmaking techniques to authentically portray the heroes of the French Resistance collaborating with the Allies, delivering a heavy blow to German fascism, and making significant contributions to the successful Allied landing in Normandy and the liberation of Paris.
