A remarkable and courageous film from noted French director Rene Clement(Forbidden Games), who completed the work during the final months of WWII under extremely dangerous conditions. Using a cast of non-professionals, Clement tells the story of French railway workers who bravely battle the Nazis on many fronts, making possible the Allied invasion of 1944. Shot in a gritty, semi-documentary style, Clement's film has been compared to Rossellini's groundbreaking neorealist masterpiece Open City. The most important" film [...] about the French resistance (The Guardian).
