It is an adaptation of the 1941 novel of the same title by Roger Frison-Roche. It was a faithful adaptation of the novel, which began shooting in June 1943 during the German Occupation of France. Despite being directed by Daquin, a French Communist, it was considered to demonstrate a Pétainist ideology possibly even containing elements of Nazism. ## Credits - **Director:** [Louis Daquin](https://cinepixo.com/people/louis-daquin) ## Cast - [Jérôme Goulven](https://cinepixo.com/people/jerome-goulven) - [Marcel Delaître](https://cinepixo.com/people/marcel-delaitre) - [Yves Furet](https://cinepixo.com/people/yves-furet) - [Fernand René](https://cinepixo.com/people/fernand-rene) - [Roger Blin](https://cinepixo.com/people/roger-blin) - [Jean Davy](https://cinepixo.com/people/jean-davy) - [Irène Corday](https://cinepixo.com/people/irene-corday) - [Mona Dol](https://cinepixo.com/people/mona-dol) - [André Le Gall](https://cinepixo.com/people/andre-le-gall) - [Albert Duvaleix](https://cinepixo.com/people/albert-duvaleix) - [Lucien Blondeau](https://cinepixo.com/people/lucien-blondeau) - [Richard Francœur](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-franc-ur) - [Jacques Dufilho](https://cinepixo.com/people/jacques-dufilho) - [Jean-Marc Thibault](https://cinepixo.com/people/jean-marc-thibault) - [Maurice Baquet](https://cinepixo.com/people/maurice-baquet) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
