The Moliere players are in their dressing room, getting ready to go on set. One actor mentions to another that his face reminds him of an opportunist turncoat he knew when he was in the Resistance. He then relates the adventure that he had in the Resistance, running an illegal radio station and dodging the Nazis. Written by

In the same way that Cecil B. DeMille made 'The Story of Dr. Wassell' as his contribution towards the war effort, Alfred Hitchcock made two short films for the British government in French. As he was an Englishman directing French actors in French, it is akin to Paul writing his letters in Greek, and then writing two other letters in Norman French even though he is not a French speaker or writer. To be able to direct a film in a language that is not your own shows versatility and a broad base of talent.
