Viewing Notes

I wasn’t able to find this one online so I ended up buying a DVD of both this and BON VOYAGE. Honestly, the quality isn’t too much better than streaming it through YouTube (if it were on YouTube) but that’s ok.

This is another of Hitchcock’s war propaganda films done for the French, with French actors and I believe a mostly French crew. I might have to read up on the history of Madagascar during WWII now.
