Re KS-8's review above, everyone is of course entitled to his or her opinion. I disagree though; this really is a modern classic.
For his or her benefit, I should explain the meaning of "the Resistance" since this is kind of relevant to the plot in this movie. During WWII, there were a number of people in those countries that had been overrun by the Nazis who, fairly understandably, weren't too happy about that situation. The French Resistance was particularly active in trying to do as much damage as possible to the German army. That's all historical context for what follows in this movie. It is a great movie and one which I am glad finally to have found on DVD just today (my birthday).
It is a wonderful story of bravery and of love and the disappointments of love.
