Title: Ophuls strips the veil covering the failure of France to live up to its former glory.
Review: In a searing examination of the French soul, Ophuls has detailed the almost complete failure of the powerful French nation of the mid-twentieth century to contest the Nazi invasion of the country which had been the military giant of the Napoleonic period and the stubborn, enduring survivors and the eventual victors of trench warfare of WW I.Not only did their leaders kow-tow to the blitz-krieg, but Laval, president of occupied France and Petain, leader of Vichy,obscenely rushed to collaborate with the invaders of their country in the Nazi genocide.
