Crazy credits
The last shot shows a Cross of Lorraine, with the tile of the movie in a large arc, and with the following text underneath - "... the growing light of dawn red-hued but clear ..." The source of the text is unknown but could be based on Proverbs 4: 18 "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

World War Two Drama

War time drama about a French Resistance Group

Very interesting British film from the 1940s that can be seen on NETFLIX! A young man arrives in a French town occupied by the National Socialists who has explosive information from the Nazi troops that the British could put to good use. At first everything seems to be going quite smoothly, but after an attack by the Resistance, the SS takes care of the matter...

What was initially a tranquil film turns into a grim war drama in the second half, with surprising levels of harshness for the 1940s.

Not a masterpiece, but definitely worth discovering as a film document of the time!
