A splendidly acted indictment against treachery and enemy collaboration at the height of World War 2. Charles Laughton shines as the milquetoast teacher swept up in Vichy intrigue and resistance due to his love for a fellow teacher (O'Hara). Walter Slezak is good as the lead Nazi and George Sanders has a rare nuanced role as the conflicted collaborator. The script has some standout acting moments showing that courage and bravery are more born of circumstance that reveals one's true character.
