Plot Summary

Early in WWII, Parisienne socialite Michele de la Becque, self-admittedly spoiled and selfish, sees the war merely as a nuisance on her life, such as the House of Montanot, the couturier where she has her clothes made, unable to obtain the fabrics she wants in a timely fashion, but arguably more importantly that her fiancé, industrialist Robert Cortot, is too busy assisting the French war effort to be by her side. But as the war progresses, the Nazis invade Holland, Belgium and France, and as such the war has a more profound direct effect on her life, Michele views the war differently, she taking a more political viewpoint in abhorring the French who assist the Nazis solely for their own benefit regardless of the harm to France. So she is shocked to learn that Robert has become a Nazi collaborator seemingly to protect his own social and financial standing. Increasingly trying to distance herself from Robert, Michele firstly has to find a way to survive either without her former wealth or without Robert's support. Her life takes a drastic change when she meets downed RAF bomber pilot, American Pat Talbot, who is hiding from the Nazis as he tries to make his way back to England. Michele secretly assisting Pat, as he starts to fall for her, is at a risk to her life, something she has never faced before but is willing to risk in her newfound love of France as that symbol of resistance against the Nazi oppression.

Trivia In an appearance on The Merv Griffin Show (1962) on March 7, 1963, Joan Crawford was asked about working with John Wayne. She said, "...I'd wanted to work with him for so long, and Merv, when we really worked together it was the lousiest script I have ever seen or read in my life. I think he will verify that."
