Plot

The liberation of Paris in 1944.

Sinekatalog’s take

René Clément's all-star epic recounts the 1944 liberation of Paris and the debate over Hitler's burn order. Black-and-white, sprawling and tense, with a vast cast, it is an impressive if unwieldy historical reconstruction.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
