The film"s page
Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, deux aviateurs français, le lieutenant Maréchal et le capitaine Boeldieu sont faits prisonniers dans un camp allemand. Déterminés à s’évader, les deux hommes sont transférés dans une forteresse gardée par le charitable von Rauffenstein.
Note : le pacifisme revendiqué par Renoir valu au film d’être interdit en Allemagne nazie puis dans la France de Vichy, avant d’être réhabilité après la guerre.
