Tomorrow We Live1943
Whilst the Germans scour a French town for saboteurs, the Mayor (Godfrey Tearle) and his daughter Marie (Greta Gynt) collaborate with the German Occupation. But unknown to both the Germans and the French villagers, they are leaders of the resistance organization. When a young French idealist (John Clements) arrives without papers, Marie shields him from the Germans and enlists him in their cause to disrupt the German war effort and smuggle Allied airmen back to England. As the audacity and success of the French Resistance increases, the Germans decide to call in the SS in order to establish obedience. But will the German's brutal suppression force the French to betray their fellow countrymen, or will the spirit of French patriotism stand firm against Nazi tyranny?

Not a classic, but classical. One of the many movies made during the war to help those at home see the darkened underbelly of war. Modestly entertaining, and always visually interesting--infact the film work was perhaps its best feature. A good excuse to eat some popcorn.
