Backstage before a performance, a French actor recalls his time in Madagascar during World War II, when he secretly ran a Resistance radio station under the watch of a collaborationist police chief. His story unfolds in flashback, revealing espionage, deception, and divided loyalties within the French ranks. Made for Britain’s Ministry of Information, this 1944 French-language propaganda short satirizes Vichy opportunism and wartime hypocrisy, and was shelved for decades before its release in 1993.

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

This is a bit intriguing, it’s well structured and with such a short runtime it doesn’t really drag. Is it a great short film about the resistance movements of World War 2? Hell no.

Overall,
The premise isn’t half-bad.. but I will forget about this faster than a 90-year forgets the name of his grandchildren.
