Masterful evocation of the French resistance movement during the bleak years of 1940-1942. The film was filled with shadows, both real and psychic, from the ugly reality of the planned execution of a turncoat/collaborator to an escape from a darkened tunnel with SS machine gunners filling the air with death.
This was the story of heroism displayed by ordinary people facing, opposing a hated enemy, an invader who was utterly ruthless and at the time seemingly invincible.
Strong characters, script, beautifully done in all respects. His finest work, which is saying something.
