Two French soldiers - blue-collar Maréchal (Jean Gabin) and genteel de Boieldieu (Pierre Fresnay) - strive to overcome their differences while plotting their escape from a German prison camp during World War I. Meanwhile, de Boieldieu finds a kindred spirit among his captors in a patrician German officer (Erich von Stroheim). (YouTube)
