The Vanishing Corporal
Jean Renoir’s comedy about an upper-class corporal from Paris who is captured by the occupying Germans in 1940.
Serving as a companion piece to director’s 1937 film, GRAND ILLUSION, it once more brings together men from across the social spectrum of French society to depict one man’s exhaustive efforts to escape captivity in a German POW camp.
