    • Trivia
      The real life Klaus Barbie was recruited by the US after the war and lived as a free man for more than 30 years. He lived in Bolivia until 1983, then he was extradited to France and died in prison.
    • Goofs
      When the camera pans Patton's troops, there is an intermingling of black and white faces. But the Army was strictly segregated in 1945.
    • Quotes

      Georges: I'm not going to bring them more instability just because you suddenly feel it may get dangerous.

      Georges: You are a mile away from nazi Germany where an extremely popular leader is preparing the most powerful army in the history of Europe to conquering a neighboring country while he blames all possible evil on the Jews.

    • Crazy credits
      Epilogue:  "For his contribution to the French resistance, Marcel Marceau made 'Grand Officier de la Légion d'Honneur' and was awarded the National Order of Merit in France. He is recognized as the most important Mime of all time.   Marcelle's father, Charles Mangel, was deported to the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, where he was killed in 1945.   After the war, Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld found Klaus Barbie hiding in Bolivia. He was extradited to France, where he was convicted of crimes against humanity. He died in prison in 1991.  The Jewish Resistance groups of France saved ten thousand children during World War II. The Nazis advocated killing children of 'dangerous groups' as part of their plan to 'purify the Aryan race.' They killed 1.5 million children, including tens of thousands of Romani children, children with physical and mental disabilities...and over a million Jewish children. This film is dedicated to them. We will never forget."

    Leave Your Baggage At The Door
    I have absolutely no idea who Eisenberg is, and consequently watched this film with no preformed opinions or expectations. Only afterwards reading others' (mostly) negative comments did I realise that (I assume) he's better known for different types of role. Well, without the baggage and preconceptions, I think he gave a pretty good performance. I found it believable and nothing struck me as being either over- or underdone.

    That being said, give it a few days when I'll have forgotten most of the specifics of this film, and I will probably once again have no idea who Eisenberg is. It's not an OSCAR-worthy performance, but it's acceptable.

    The story itself I found engaging, all the better for being based on true events, and I have no regrets at having made the time to watch it. I probably won't watch it a second time in a few years, once it's a distant memory, but that's more to do with having lots that I do want to rewatch, and (probably) not enough time left to fit them all in.

    Can I, though, take a moment to give 10/10 to the reviewer who commented "So Marcel Marceau was a Resistance fighter, huh? He kept that quiet." :-) Best one-liner I've read in ages!
