"Grand Illusion"  and
sacrifices of characters that are divided by class rather than national
borders. This newly restored version was thought lost for over fifty
years until it was discovered sitting unlabeled on a shelf at the
Cinematheque in Tolouse, France. The Nazi's had tried to destroy it
during the occupation calling "cinematographic enemy No. 1."
Set in WW I, the film tells of two French officers captured by German
forces. Interred in a prison camp, the two officers encounter Von
Rauffenstein, an aristocratic career officer played by von Stroheim.

made!" - Jami Bernard, Daily News. "A sublime
classic restored to mint condition! Should be seen by absolutely
everybody!" - David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor.

Gabin, Pierre Fresnay, Dita Parlo, Marcel Dalio and Erich von Stroheim.
