Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Renoir's classic treatise on war, focusing on French prisoners during WW1 and their cultured German commandant. Beautiful performances enhance an eloquent script (by Renoir and Charles Spaak). Edited to 94m. for U. S. release in 1938. Beware of other versions with variant running times.
