  • "Dramatisation of the collaboration between the Vichy régime headed by Laval and Pétain and the Germans during the occupation of France 1940-1945."
  • ""It is 1940 and war-torn France is in disarray as the German army penetrates its defences. The French Government, fearing that the Germans may reach Paris, decides to go on the run and becomes an administration living out of a suitcase. In order to bring some stability back to the country they decide that they must appoint a leader that the people will respect. So it is that Marshal Phillipe Pétain (Jacques Dufilho), a man in his eighties and celebrated hero from the First World War, is chosen for the post ... it is easy to manipulate Pétain, who believes that everything he does is for the good of his beloved country and he is persuaded into passing laws, many of which are racist and inhuman."[cover note]."
